I did a search and looks to be similar to this one.

Horabagrus brachysoma "Bullseye Catfish"

Here's a good site for looking around but I think I'm right.

Horabagrus brachysoma • Horabagridae • Cat-eLog Image 2 • PlanetCatfish

i'll admit I only looked at one picture but after looking at the others in that link I'd say 99% chance that's the one you have.

My reference calls him a Mystus micracanthus or Two-Spot Catfish (2008). His picture is the same as that for the Horabagrus brachysoma "Bullseye Catfish" so at sometime they changed names. My local Big Box store always has lots of these.
