Hello, I bought this fish from my lfs today. The owner there said that it is a catfish from Africa and that the care for it is similar to a synodontis so I figured I'd pick it up since it looks cool. They called it a Salaureen Clown Loach and I can see why, it does kinda look like one. So I Google that name but nothing comes up. Any input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Sorry for the crappy pics, it swims really fast

No no, it's definitely not a royal clown loach, it is a type of catfish, as far as I can tell.

I've had them in the store years ago, I think we called them Panda cats or sumsuch, and while I can't remember specifics, I do recall that they were fairly undemanding. Does well in highly oxygenated water.

Some kind of synodontis.
