I purchased an interesting cory today. It came in with a shipment of otocinclus. It's coloration is an almost translucent white with black spots along its lateral line and dorsal. Size is roughly 1/2 in or 12 mm. Can anyone help me ID it? Thanks for any assistance you can give me!

Interesting - I just got two of these from a tank of Otocinclus at Petsmart tonight. Maybe I should scour Petsmarts in the area to see if I can find some more of these guys.
