What type of fish is this little guy?
New guy here. Just bought this fish for $5 and the lady at the pet store wasnt sure what it was. It was by itself in a tank of cichlids with no tag. Any Ideas? All I know is that it usually clings to the side of the tank like a pleco.

Re: What type of fish is this little guy?
I think it may be a farowalla catfish... I've seen several fish like that at the lfs under that name.

Re: What type of fish is this little guy?
Looks like F. vittata after looking at various examples of different species. Thanks for pointing me towards the correct genus.
