What fish is this that this superstore provides? A catfish of what type? Thanks for any help.

When it swims around off the bottom, is it upside down?

If so, it's an upside down catfish... lol. I have one that looks just like that. When it's feeding off the bottom it's right side up.

Looks like an upside down catfish.

I did not witness it swimming upside down, but google images makes me believe that it is an upside down catfish. At the store I thought,"sterbai Cory?". Thanks everyone.

It may be a Julii cory... but I know for certain it is a cory.

But that looks like that tank is at Wal-mart... is it?

Its a Syndontis. Lace Syndontis I do believe.

Its a Syndontis. Lace Syndontis I do believe.

Thats what I FIRST thought but I thought I saw the cory features.. if its from Wal-mart it is for certain one of those catfish.

It is Wally world. It might be Lace Syndontis, really does look a Cory. The only reason I had interest is because they look like sterbai corys, I really want some sterbais

I've never owned a cory but I have seen them in pet stores, here is a pic of my Syno multipunctatus, is that what a cory mouth looks like? I've actually just started a 29g community and have been thinking about adding some cory's.

If they dont have a place to hide their pretty frantic, and you would of surely noticed an upside down fish :O so my guess is a cory

I concurring. Look at the barbells (sp?) they are spined and not straight.

It is a lace synodontis. Not a cory. I have them in my rift lake tanks.

Notice how its barbels at the front angle forward? Also two of the barbel pairs split unlike any cory cats barbels. The type syno you have at maturity will have a beautiful long dorsal fin.
