i bought one for $12. $50 is just too much I think.

That's syndontis petricola and $50 is way over priced especially since they should be keep in groups of at least three. They go for about $5 normally

My lfs has them for 20 dollars each.

Wow, my petsmart had them for $11 but breeders sell them for $4 by me

Those look a lot like synodontis multipunctus (sp?) they are a fairly hard to come by fish and can be expensive. Mine were $12 each but that's just because my fish guy got a great deal on them in an auction.

They are similar it could have been multipunctus. The picture above is defiantly petricola
