That is a spotted pimodella catfish. They grow to be very small (4''). The larger version of that catfish would be the 4-line pimodella that is known to grow to 10'' inches.

I've grown them out in larger tanks to around 8", and I've seen pics of wild caught specimens hitting 11". Good looking fish, always on the move.
