Thank you for the kindly words, Pals!
Yes, those Guy is a Banjo cat, but what kind of variety…I still don’t know…!??
Looking at the pictures in the Net…so “qualify”…I can’t recognize it…!?
What do you think – is it Dysichthys coracoideus , or bunocephalichthys ?

So, may be these next 5 detailed photos of mine may be help...
Usually, this Banjo cat is hiding in the tank and show up only in feeding time…
Attaching to woods or hiding below them, his mimicry helps him to be almost invisible…
