If this ID is correct, it looks like kneri can be brown: http://www.flickr.com/groups/fishspecies/pool/cdtimm/?view=lg
Lots of nice pics in this collection.
This one is brownish too http://www.fishing-worldrecords.com/scientificname/Oxydoras kneri/show
And this(a bit less so) http://wikipeixes.com.br/especies:oxydoras_kneri
But, really better photos are needed. I don't think with this one photo a species can be reliably assigned.

I think it's sifontesi, it looks like the one in the 2nd picture

From here http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=37 "Occasionally amongst imports of Oxydoras niger there are some slightly different specimens which tend to have black coloured fins and a grey coloured body. These so-called contaminants are Oxydoras sifontesi."
"Tend to have" is of course not a robust ID feature...

I'm going to go back and take a few more pictures as soon as possible. It was a really interesting looking fish so i'd like to get a good I.D. on it. it def looks like an oxydora from these pictures and from in person. But i'll try to get some more pics up asap
Thanks! How big is the fish? If possible, try to get a camera as opposed to just a cell phone...
Yeah i'll bring my camera next time. Was passing the store and just stopped in so I didn't just have a camera on me 
and i'd say it's a good 10-12 inches.
