Rarely found.
Based on the characteristics you have provided, it is likely that the fish species you have is a type of catfish. In particular, it may be a species in the genus "Heteropneustes", which are known for having three pairs of long barbels on the central side of the mouth and an elongated body. Some species of Heteropneustes have a whitish cream coloration. However, without a picture or a more detailed description, it is difficult to provide a specific scientific name for the species you have captured. I recommend consulting a fish taxonomist or ichthyologist for a more accurate identification of the species.
