Did it look something like this?

If so I believe it is called a sliver tipped shark. It is a type of catfish that lives in brackish water. It is a good community fish as long as its tankmates are around the catfish's size. These fish can get up to 24 inches so require a very large tank.

Yes! thank youuuuuuuuuu. thats what it looks like.

I saw them at my LPS as well so I came home and researched them. They're very cute but I wouldn't be able to keep them because my tank is freshwater.

Is your tank brackish? These fish can survive freshwater when younger but need more salt content in the water as they get older, if not, they have a slow death ahead of them.
