It doesn't appear to be what it is labeled as (Duopalatinus); by the look of it Richard B. is right.

2nd opinion is the same - doesn't pinirampus have flatterned whiskers?

Not sure if the image is misplaced, or if it's really P.piriniampu, but it looks like the barbels aren't very flat in that picture [although hard to tell].

I _do_ think Richard is right, but the picture above confuses me a bit.

Fishbase list p.pinirampu as the flatwhiskered catfish, common name if memory serves me correct & certainly 1 pic in cat-e-log seems to show this, but the others do not. HH may be able to adjudicate?

yes, that fish in post 1 (I have seen a live specimen) has flat barbels.

So is it right that Exallodontus aguanai has similar type of berbels ?

Guys,

Look at the eye size and placement and the mouth shape in the two pictures - those are two different fish...
