Cream and brown colored catfish - no idea what it is though

I have two of these catfish that I bought from a big petstore, but after looking through hundreds of pictures on the site I cannot really identify what type they are. Can anyone help?
They are extremely active even during the day, as opposed to my two Ancistrus Sp. who just hide the whole time.

Good grief, no wonder I couldn't find it, it's not even a catfish. I've only been keeping fish for 2 months so I hope I don't look too stupid now!
thanks for the quick answer!

Also look at Botia kubotai.
Edit.....
After asking a knowledgeable loach person (Mark Duffill) he has suggested this is
Botia rostrata.
