maybe pictus cats?

thankyou!!!! i will look at both of those and see which it is... i have two of them if they do get 12cm do u think a 15 gal tank is to small??? its only the two of them in there and they are very small now

OK!! im pretty sure i found out what they are... they do not look like synodontis angelicus... so maybe the store had the wrong label or those were the fish that were there before the ones i bought were..... but they do look like Pictus catfish...of the Peruvian variety!! thanx a bunch for the help and narrowing things down a lot!!! they grow to be about 4.8'' and i have them both in 1 15 gallon tank.. will that work out good?

I had one (angelica catfish) probobly the same thing as angelicus. It died. I got some cory cats later. I liked the angelica, but i think corys are cooler because of the way they school. Nonetheless, angelicas are very beautiful fish.

Angelicus are black with white spots but there are a whole load of synodontid cats which are white with black. However it sounds like you've identified yours as Pim. pictus. Nice fish, might work in a 15, might not as they like to swim fast a lot
