Fish Id

[BeerShark]

Hey all, would like some help with a fish I saw at the lsf about 2 months ago that none of the employees seem to remember or know about ( but the manager wasnt there and he seemed to be doing something with it then)

It was a bottom feeder in appearance, shaped like a catfish. was bright yellow with a few black bands across it. looked great, was about 3 inches, think I heard someone say it was some kind of cichlid and grew alot bigger. Was fantastic and I would love to track down what it was.

Looked a little like what a small flathead would look like if it had yellow and black tiger stripes. just combed the internet, cant find it.

This might be it, or as close as I can get to it. the colours were electric yellow with just a few big black bands on it.

Leopard Frog Pleco.
Lovely little things, but a plec that doesn't like algae interestingly.
