Ooops, I assumed you meant catfish singular and just posted the one picture. Sorry about that! The link you posted is the one HH identified as Chaestoma. The other picture I posted is probably a peckoltia, but some of the others will be able to identify it, I'm sure. :)

Hi!

Yeap the other one is a Chaetostoma.
The other one should be a Panaque cf maccus.
A mouth shot could be really helpful.
Cheers

HI!

Panaque maccus are often found in shop under the name of Peckoltia vittata.
