Thanks guys, Picture 1 and 3 are owned by this keeper in Taiwan who also owns an albino apurensis, leucsitic juruense, and a bunch of albino woodcats. Pretty good collection in my opinion.

Is this a leucistic plotosus canius? What species is the second catfish, I keep seeing it labeled as siam rockfish

I'd agree with the first ID of a eeltail catfish, as for which species, again my first inclination is canius but IDK of any other similar species.

The second seems like a Mystus species to me.

Phalacronus?
Same Batrothoglanis as above.
An obscure group of catfish called jumper catfish - Exallodontus, Iheringichthys, Propimelodus, etc.
Silurus meridionalis?

I think you are right. We have only seen mucosus in the trade. Anyway, I for one have never seen a malarmo.
