Black And White Stripy Catfish

[clowloachguy]

I see them in the pet shop ages ago but they were really expensive like £20 for one roughly 2cm big??

the were like black with white strips or the otherway whatever way you want to look at it

and i think they had red eyes not to sure, was just wondering what they were called because i wanted to find some information about them like how big they get, if they are fairly easy to keep? can they be sex'd?
and obviously theyre not easy to breed as this is reflected in their high price.
