One comment from this paper, which may be frustrating to us hobbyists thinking we are recreating nature, is this regarding mimicry:

Cheers, EricSlobodian & Bockmann (2016) wrote:Despite Brachyrhamdia species being known to mimic other catfishes (Innes & Myers, 1950; Sands, 1980; Slobodian & Bockmann, 2013), no other catfish with similar coloration was observed at the three localities where B. meesi was encountered. Therefore, despite the indirect data given by B. meesi being found mixed with Pimelodella species in aquarium stores (Sands, 1985b; pers. obs.), there is no trustworthy information about B. meesi mimicking other catfishes.
