It does look like a

Pimelodella

but these things are typically impossible to ID to species from photos.

Ok thanks for the reply I have it in my 350l tank so plenty of room for it but not sure of size and growth rate

[Jools]

It won't get big, 10-15cm depending on species, they can get to this size pretty quickly - in a year or two typically. Pretty straightforward otherwise.

Welcome to the Planet then!

I've had several of these from the genus. They are quirky, interesting, inquisitive fish. My male had a fa-a-ar longer upper caudal lobe.

It'd be nice to see more photos (right side up) and videos of your fish and tank.
