my current Trichomicteridae ?

[dmcat]

These were bought as Trichomycterus davisi. But honestly I have no idea if this is true or absolutely wrong. I would appreciate any suggestions or confirmation. Specimens are fairly variable in density of the spots (No 1 being least spotted). I have 5 of them for 1.5 years, they grew from tiny to about 4-5 cm at max.
Thanks ahead,

Thanks, Silurus! I remember that post. Frank's fish were twice larger and more heavily punctated. Unfortunately I don't know the locality.

By the way, here is what I had from him years ago as Ituglanis metae. Unfortunately only these poor pics I have.

where did you get these?

[dmcat]

Those Trichomycterus are from Bluegrass Aquatics; Ituglanis are from Frank's Aquarium.

I'd like to ask for advice. Under what name should I place them in "My Fish". Or should I just skip them?
Thank you,
DM

i would say skip until you have a good firm ID. I have been searching for a long time for both above sp, but everytime it ry to order something goes off (frank sold out before i could order in safe shipping weather, bluegrass "lost" my order twice.)
