Mystery catfish?

I have a catfish, got him about two months ago. He is freshwater, and the petstore I got him at couldn’t tell me what kind it was. The petstore suggested it was a columbian shark, but I have one, and it definatly isn’t. It’s deffinatly not an irodesant shark, or a pictus either. So here is a brief discription, if I don’t get some good answers I might try to get a good picture of him and repost this question again.

Ok, it is about 5 inches long, slender, silver color, a couple black spots on it’s sides. It has wiskers but not real long and they are dark. All fins and tail are clear, no coloration at all. It has a forked tail thats not rounded. It likes hanging on the bottom, but will swim around the whole tank. It is also a good community fish, it is in with 2 oscars, a green severum, a bass and a bluegill, and 3 other catfish of different types, .

Hope this is ok, if anyone can give me a type, or maybe a couple types that it might be, I’d apreciate it. Thanks all.

Question on Florida catfish?

I live in South florida on a manmade lake that includes sunfish, largemouth bass, tilapia, and mayan cichlids. Do you think catfish would live in here as well? If so, what type of catfish would you guess?

Thanks in advanced.
Its connected to canals so i dont think it was stocked
MAJOR CANALS LIKE THE C-11 THAT ARENT STOCKED
