What are these

These color morph cats are being sold in japan, was wondering what they are since they use japanese names to label that don't translate into anything. I also found these color morph trachys online and was wondering what species they are.

The first is a cetopsis species, a true freshwater micro-shark.
The second looks like one the obscure / hard to ID so-called jumper catfish.

The trachy woodcats are hard to ID for me in general and with this photo in particular. I'd think a clean full side shot could help but I understand it is but a random photo.

Thanks for the help, so jealous of Asia getting all the awesome color morphs. My best guess for the Trachys is

Can you post a link to the Bagrichthys hypselopterus source site? Seeing this fish alive is quite something let along a weird one.
Cheers,

Thanks to Silurus for the correct ID on the Rita. I was clearly wrong.
The one he didn't touch is a hybrid of lima shovelnose and RTC. (An abomination IMHO but this is besides the point.)

No problem, Whenever I am bored I just try and find cool color morph fish pictures. It is insane what collectors in Asia have, makes me want to move there.

Looks to me like
-- B.juruense,
-- a smaller Doradid, could be from the Hassar or Doras genus but reminds me also of the O. niger posted by Vincent Wu on MFK (EDIT: which of course this fish is not based on the adipose fin.)
-- same black lancer catfish as you posted above but this one is xanthic, not leucistic / platinum.

Needless to say, I'd go with what Silurus is saying. He is right.

You sure on the Juruense id? The head looks a lot like a Rousseauxii.

The video confirms the juruense ID to my eye. The fish even appears to bear the faintest stripes as would be found on a juruense.

Labeled as Wild caught platinum mystus from Kapuas river in borneo
Albino trachy of some sort
Looks like leucistic oxydoras niger? Weird markings on the head from the morph or is it maybe a different species?
Pictures found online

Will, if they not in
this list then we don't have them in the database. However, I'd need copyright info / permission if they're to be added.

I could post them and tell you where I got the pics from and maybe a few of them you could ask to use the image? Problem is a good amount of them are from people who re post who don't say where the original image is from. I still have a fair few I could post and could tell you the owner though.

The one you labeled W. leerii looks a Silurus species to me.
