I'm at a bar near where I live. They have various exotic fish in aquariums. One of the fish is being a funny little fker. It's swimming around, deliberately winding the other fish up, by bumping into them and swimming upside down. I can't get pictures of it, but it's grey with black spots, it's got two big 'whiskers' sticking out from its mouth, with two smaller whiskers behind. At the moment, I'm calling it the larey bd whisker fish. I just wondered if anyone might know what it actually is.

Did it look like either of these two?

One of the Synodontis cats

Synodontis nigriventris I used to have a few of those never saw them much, nor did i find them agressive/annoying towards any other fish in the tank.
