I have seen that before but I forgot the name are they your fish?
I have one catfish and it a Pimelodus Pictus.

Hi Charly,
I've been through Wels Atlas 2 for you, but alas: I can't find, although it looks familiar.
BTW: are you sure it's a Peckoltia and not a Hypancistrus?

I agree with Marc, these have more of a Hypancistrus look than Peckoltia, including the shape and teeth on the mouth picture.
