If we assume the fish is correctly identified and available in the Cat-eLog, it is one of:





My guess would be on the first one, for a few reasons:
1. Most people recognise a corydoras as this genus, even if they don't know which particular species, which means that you would most likely have posted in the "Corydoras" section of the forum.
2. Cteniloricaria (or any other species) from French Guyana are very unlikely to appear in even the more extensively stocked shops.
3. Cephalosilurus fowleri does occassionally appear as an import.
