ok, this is kinda odd. I sall a fish at "That Fish Place" in Lancaster Pa. they got a site you can order fish off of. Thatpetplace.com, same company. Anyways I saw i wierd fish there and i want it. at the time i didnt have the tank for it now i do. so im gonna try and desribe this fish and hope my experts on here can help me out in figureing out what it is. post pics or link so i can look at pics if you think you know what it is.

Ok, the fish was about 6". Its head was pretty flat. had bristles comming out of its face. the tail was kinda like a plecos in the u shape but the top of the tail was thin and long. I mean it was longer than the fish. awesome fish. said it was a scavenger that did well with sand. it was tan in color.

i know this is kinda hard but i want to know what it was.
 
thanks for anybody who helps
 
pics???
 
Uh, just taking a shot in the dark. But a Bristle nosed plec? I think they top out at 4-5 inches, but i guess one could get 6 in.
 
not a pleco. it was kinda like a catfish of some sort. this is probably gonna be hard
 
Is this him? Its called a Jurensis Catfish.
