Got Given Some Sort of Catfish, Need Help Figuring Out What Breed He Is

I recently moved house, and my flatmate didn't want his tropical fish anymore, so I offered to take them off his hands.

I managed to identify the breed & species of the other fish okay, but the catfish I'm stuck on. I can't find anything that a noob such as myself can pin down as being his species.

I've attached an image of him, maybe someone can help me out and tell me what he is?

Reason I ask is I'm worried about how big he's going to get (he's already 15cm / 6" long), and what his temperament is like when he's active at night. I woke up this morning and I'm down from 4 neon tetras, down to 2, I can see the body for one of them, the other one is just flat out gone - perhaps it's in the catfish' belly? I can look up that info on my own if I just know what species of catfish he is =X

My father has a Channel Cat in a 55 and it is 20in long. o_O
He only eats at night with the light out, too.

It's not as cruel as what my father is about to do because he's fed up with the algae issue....
He's dumping the fish in a nearby pond.
