My first guess also would have been a Striped Raph., but if indeed the stripes are black that can't be it...
It sounds like the color pattern of a zebra pleco, but it's physical description doesn't fit (whiskers).
I do not know.

Is it a Striped Raphael Catfish? They are fairly common. It should be a dark brown-black color, with a creamy stripe.

It will eat most anything but meaty foods like bloodworms and brineshrimp are important parts of their diets.

Yes that would catfish as describe above
It would grow to be much longer in size
They usually stay at the bottom of the tank and sometimes go to side of the tank in seach of food.. They eat all the left overs
Anything from flakes, small pellets, blood worms.
