Looks kinda like callicthys callicthys(spelling), or something similar. Definitely in the cory family of catfish. I use to have one many years ago.

yes yes the cory family. Neo you were really close on the scientific name. looks like they split the genus at some point. cause callichthys is very similar to hoplosternum.
