Default Help with fish ID

Can anybody help identifying this fish? It looks like some sort of pleco.

It's hard to tell, with picture being so blurry, but I'm voting Synodontis, sometimes labeled as an upside down cat fish. Start with this site and see if it helps you.

I would say some kind of cory, but with the picture being so blurry it could also be the upside down catfish. I am however leaning more towards a cory.

I agree with others here it's a synodontis, there are a lot of different species of synodontis though. Here is a video from youtube of Synodontis multipunctatus

After looking into the synodontys family I'm now pretty sure it's a Synodontis Zebra Hybrid.

Thanks all for your feedback!
