What catfish is this?

Got this at an LFS as it looked so unique and I had not seen one before. It seems fine eating sinking pellets but it would be great to have an ID.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1410079472.193120.jpg

royal twig catfish?

Should be a loricaria/hemiloricaria sp. Loricaria similima?

Yes after searching it up I am 100% sure that it is a loricarai similima or whip tail catfish! Any tips on how to care for them ?
