I'm trying to find out the name of a fish and the only thing I remember is what it looks like. It hid all the time so that's why I posted here with the bottom feeders. It was black with little white spots. Also, it's body was hard and spiny. To me, it seemed catfish-like, but I'm not sure. It wasn't very big and I had it in a 10 gallon aquarium for years. Also, it didn't really move around much and just stayed under a rock most of the time. I'm looking to get another one, but without a name, I'm not having much luck. If anybody could help me, I would really appreciate it!

I know they aren't bred in captivity and I'm located in Ohio.. a woman gave me a fishtank with a bunch of various fish in it when I was younger and that is how I aquired the first one. It lived for 7+ years at least.
