Is this a Cory

[Mike Brinson]

I bought this fish at Walmart when I first started my tank in April. They were selling it as a Cory. I’m questioning that now due to the size of fish. I have never seen one this big before. When I bought it it was about 1 inch in size.

I can barely see it but I think it’s a pleco. Can you take a pic with lights on?

Looks like some type of Synodontis catfish, possibly a feather fin?

I concur with @betta fish, it looks like a Synodontis catfish.

Here is a picture of one I found on Google

I've just been looking through Synodontis images to see if I could match it. We need a clearer photo to ID it properly.

It looks like a cross breed maybe? I do agree, @Mike Brinson, we need a clearer picture to properly ID your fish.

For whatever reason the pictures with light on are too big file size it says

Try stepping back, or, set your cameras resolution to the lowest setting, then take the picture.

Now we know what it is, one other comment.
When you bought it, you thought it was a cory (Walmart's fault), but are you aware that all cories are shoaling fish? If you want to get cories at some point, you need at least 6 of them.

Yeah I bought to help cycle the tank along with bacteria in bottle. At the time I bought 3 cories 1 died a few days latter.

I’m glad we figured out what it is.
