Its a khuli loach or a bicher, hard to tell if his tail is flat or rounded.

Unfortunately, I know it isn't a khuli, I've got a khuli in my tank and it looks nothing like him. This fish is 4-5 inches long and quite thick. My khuli is only about 3 inches, quite narrow and black and orange lol... Thank you anyway

Thank you!! It is a Cuvier's Bichir. Great help... Thankfully, my tank is plenty big enough for him to grow

I've got a 260 litre tropical freshwater tank. He seems really happy in there at the moment. Lots of room for him to swim about with lots of floor space
