Not only are they a little young but the pictures are not very high quality either, let alone close enough. My group of 7 have started to show maturity and when the males mature they get fuzzy butt (Odontodal growth) from the back of their dorsal fin to the tail. Its most noticeable from straight above or looking at there behinds.

Here is some odontodal growth on my P.maccus male

I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...

They look pretty young. Perhaps another year or two. Enjoy them for now.
