My friend and I found this guy at a lfs. The lfs could only I'd it as a catfish and nothing more:confused:. Were both interested if we can id it and find out more about it. At the time of the photo it was probably around 5 or 6 inches and was housed with a tank full of discus.
It would be my luck if I purchased it on impulse it would grow like a red tail cat.
Thanks mfk!

Looks like some kind of synodontis, but it's nearly impossible to tell which species it is based on that pic. Can you go back and get a few pics showing the entire body?
 
Yea I'll have to try again, the cellphone pic doesn't do it justice. It was very skittish and hard to photograph. Synodontis is a good lead tho thank you.
 
get a better pic please. I thought feather fin thats a kind of syntodonis I believe but it doesnt look feathery enough lol. they are fairly common please get a better pic I really want to know what it is now

It isn't a featherfin (S. euptera), wrong head shape and coloration. Right now, I'm guessing either S. obesus or S. nigromaculata.
