Unidentified fish ( catfish / Cory / loach )

Please can someone identify this very distinctive fish - red polka dots along its long body with catfish mouthparts - I chose this fish in August for my larger tank ( went from 80 litres to 220 litres ) - the aquatic pet shop advised me on sociable fish that would enhance my existing tank mates. However they keep a record / receipt / postcode of each fish sale and print it for me but I havnt kept a record of what I purchased specifically,.. other than Corydoras . its very social , scavenging and active in the day, hard to photograph well !

Hi looks like an albino hoplo catfish - really nice fish will grow 6-8 inches eventually and do well in small groups.

Bear with more hoplos of the same species but albino or regular does not matter
