Ok so i recently purchesed 3 upside down catfish. In my brothers tank, when he had only a few fish, i got him a type of catfish. We thought it died awhile ago as it was never out. However we found it one day and i put it in my tank thinking it would come out more since i havr the upside down catfish. It did. I cant remember the name of the fish when i bought it. Can any of you guys name it? It sometimes swims upside down, it seems to have a high fin with leopard like spots, its kidav terretorial with the other catfishes and its about 3 in long. I would get a picture of it but its not out right now
What type of catfish is this?

Based of the description I'd guess featherfin synodontis.
Only way to know for sure would be a picture.

I think this is a hybrid synodontis, looks like the mos common kind https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=602 - note the variability of the appearance, plus they change with age .
If you wanted a better guess at what kind of hybrid, we'd need more and better photographs, albeit I am dubious it's worth it. Still it's easy - bring it up to the front glass in a net or place it in a make-shift phototank.
