Re: Branch catfish
The Genus is most likely Rineloricaria***. As a hobbiest, identifying them down to a species level can be difficult at best without a collection locale.
Care is very similar across the Genus. has a good write up of the basics you'll need.
(***=Is Hemiloricaria still valid?)

Re: Branch catfish
As to the common name, which in Swedish is "grenmal", the correct English name would be "twig catfish", but it is used for rather than Rineloricaria.
