starfishplus, looks like you have a synodontis aterrimus. Definitely not a black lancer, bagrichthys hypselopterus.

Regardless, It will eat what ever it can swallow.

Look at the very distinctive "saddle" pattern on the back of the head between the eyes and the dorsal fin. That and the size and shape of the adipose fin lead me to believe it's s. aterrimus. Compare those to the pic linked at Planet Catfish: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=258
