New catfish - description only

[Vince]

I saw three of them yestaerday. they appeared like the cetopsis (blue whale catfish) but the body is elongated and they just sit in the bottom, they do not swim all the time. any ideas what kind they are? couldn't find any pictures either and didn't have my camera when i visited the store....

Definitely a kind of parasitic catfish in my opinion. Probably a cetopsis species but not the usually seen one. Might want to be careful who you house them with.
