How do you tell between the 2? Someone has eel catfish for sale on Aquabid, by the pic can someone make an ID?

From the shape of the caudal fin, that's a Gymnallabes. Channallabes would also be more slender.

Gymnallabes has tiny pectoral and ventral fins, Channallabes does not have paired fins.

maybe if the pic shows the head, you can see pectoral fins or the absence of.
