Help identifying fish!!

[~nessy~]

hi i went to one of my lfs and i found these fish they were so different and wierd that i had to get one me being stupid i know -- if it grows bigger than my tank will let it thats alright as i am buying a 230L tank in around 4 months time

info on the fish - it walks on its back fins and its tail is seperated into 2 bits which are really small and just like string i know the pictures are really bad but its the best that i can do

any help would be appreshiated so much and i know the pictures are really bad sorry

I agree with Abstract, it It looks like a Twig Catfish to me.

Farlowella twig catfish.
99% sure.

Here's one of mine.

Looks like a Royal farrowella.

I'd be inclined to go with Royal Twig Catfish (Sturisoma panamense)
Royal Farlowella

very hard to say from that blurry pic, but it does not look like Farlowella Acus to me.
