I bought a new (used) tank, and this fish(?) was among the established inhabitants that I inherited..even the seller had no idea what it was..we've just been calling her "Nessie", short for LochNessMonster, since she's pretty bizarre looking and everyone so far has been baffled as to what she is.

defiantly one of the family Aspredinidae (Banjo catfishes)
as to exactly which one, that is going to be hard to determine from pictures alone.
personally I'd go with Busgod as Bunocephalus coracoideus is the most commonly seen in the trade.

just say it is a banjo catfish and leave it at that as there are no discernible differences in care for any of them.

BTW
Dysichthys is no longer the valid as taxon
the genus is now know as Bunocephalus

Neat pickup. I'd love to have one if I can see one.
