Catfish I.D. please

[BobCat]

I just picked up this little guy. About 4". Bought as a whiptail cat but I have no scientific name, when I Google whiptails all I find are the !ore slender twig catfish. Can anyone elaborate?





Thanks for looking.

Looks like Hemiloricaria eigenmanni.

If you go to planetcatfish and do a search for whip, there are more whiptails that pop-up.

That does look like it.
The LFS said it would grow to 12" and I see a size there of 5.9. Still could be it though, the LFS isn't exactly great.

I had a Common Whiptail that looked like that, not sure of the scientific though since there are so many of them.
