What is this?

Not the spots, the fish itself. i dont plan on getting that one or any from that lfs for a little...
It looks like it could be Synodontis Nigrita, or what is commonly refered to as Synodontis "lace" Catfish.
Kalen, I've never seen a lace catfish that colour ... or in that shape. Maybe it's just so sick that it looks weird. Those that I have seen looked somewhat similar to corydoras.
Your best bet ravenpb226 is to ask the lfs. Most of the time they at least have it written in inventory so they know what they need to reorder when they run out.
Good luck.

Well it's definitely a Syno... If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a S. euptera hybrid (I've seen a few that look very similar to this one), but I don't know for sure. It doesn't look like S. nigrita to me, the body and head shape are a little off for it to be S. nigrita (although it's hard to tell from an unhealthy fish).
