Emerald catfish!
Also known as emerald (green) corydoras catfish or emerald brochis! Its many names reference how its sides will reflect a shiny metallic green or blueish green colour. They generally live on the bottom of the water column, scavenging the substrate for food, but they can sometimes make a quick trip to the surface of the water to get a gulp of air if oxygen content of the water is low, as they are facultative air breathers!
