They're fairly variable, especially those available across the world in the pet trade. The ID is correct IMHO.

Welcome to PlanetCatfish.

I expect you're asking about the big fish in the photo and not the small one. Your big fish appears to be the Featherfin Squeaker,
Synodontis eupterus
. (The smaller fish is probably an common bristlenose,
Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus
)

Cheers, Eric
