So today after college I went to my lfs to look around I was looking for a small fish so I came across an interesting little guy. I ask what was it because I couldn't see clear the guy in the store only knew that it was a cat fish so I thought it will be fun to grow him up what ever it its so I bought it for 10$ I got home and I looked at the fish it was a surprise for me that this catfish look like a Irwin catfish I'm not into catfish also don't know much about it so I want ask you guys to I.D. this cat fish and give me some info thanks

It might be, but it also looks like it might be a spotted raphael cat? And I think that would be right around the correct price for a spotted raphael, so maybe.
 
They're very easy to keep. They're omnivores, so they'll clean up any leftover food (flakes, worms, pellets, etc). Not likely to pass 6-7".
They are a nocturnal catfish, so they're more active after lights out, but they'll still come out for food in the daytime.
I have 3 and after they hit 4" the growth slows right down.
Also, they squeak and vibrate when you pull them out of the water.
