I've never actually seen one in person, but it looks like a syndontis cat, aka cuckoo cat. They originate in africa, and would be a good addition to your mbuna tank. However, if you have a male and a female and your africans spawn, they may eat the eggs of you mbuna and get them to incubate their eggs (hence the name "cuckoo cat"). Very interesting, so I'm told. Try doing google or dogpile searches for sndontis or cuckoo cat.

yeah it's a synodontis catfish

species : Synodontis petricola

I always seen it called "Pygmy Catfish"
with Synodontis multipunctatus being called the "Cuckoo Cat".
