thats a good question
i went to my lfs to pick up some feeders and noticed this weird catfish. the owner told me that it grows to about 1 ft. and is from the amazon. i didnt get pics(didnt have camera). it looked like a dinosaur kinda, it had this gnarly looking spike coming out of it's back. any one know what it is?
 
bump
 
any better description? patern? color?
 
brownish, the bottom was white and you could see every detail of the fins. it's worth $13. eats pellets only, its freshwater, and if its bagged with too many of the same species it has a spike near the tail that can be hazardous to other fish if they get stabbed with it.
 
kind of looks more like a pleco but it's not. acts more like catfish. i will call tomorrow and ask for scientific name.
