Here`s a new pic of my hubbys cat this is the one that was most white. He is huge.... ill get a pic of the other two tmw they are just a tad bit smaller.. he rearranges my shells lol
 
Those are Synodontis cats. I have quite limited experience with them so cannot name the species off the top of my head. Also, there are some Syno hybrids that are commonly available in the hobby so that makes it a little more difficult. :)

That looks like a female ancistrus to me, but I'm really not great on pleco IDs either. LOL. Try searching the Cat-e-log on www.planetcatfish.com for a positive ID.

*edited to add* There are many species of Ancistrus plecos available in the hobby. Be sure to check out plenty of pics within the genus! :)

The synodontis cats are featherfin squekers. They'll lose their reticulated markings and have brownish spots as they mature. They can grow as large as 6" or more within a year if kept in optimal conditions.
