Hi I just joined your group and was wondering if anyone could tell what kind of catfish I have here, it's maybe 2 '' long . I have looked all over and can't find out what it is. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Terri.

thanks that was fast ,I was posting larger pictures and when I went back to look at my pictures it was already answered. so now what I would like to know is if it is a real catfish or more of a pleco type catfish and what does it eat, is it a scavenger type or what and about how big will it get , I have it in a 20 gal. high at this time but I also have a 55gal. I can put it in if need be later on . Thanks for your help, Terri
