Hi,
Possibly captive bred

Peckoltia lineola

(L202) These pictures are not as clear as the ones in my reference book.
OR

Peckoltia brevis

......
Interesting.....
Here (PC) L205 is on the same cat-elog data sheet as

Peckoltia brevis

.
However the reference book Back to nature guide to L-Catfishes, remarks: Peckoltia brevis, "Very similar to L205, from Peru, from which it can, however, be distinguished by, for example, the sometimes almost pink base coloration."

A couple of nice looking boys.
Cheers

Peckoltia sp(L147)

or (more likely?)

Peckoltia sp(L387)

, perhaps.

I don't believe it's L205/P. brevis, as it should have spots on the belly, which (from what I can see) your fish doesn't have. L202, in the pictures we have, doesn't have circular(ish) spots, but irregular blotches on the nose.

The top-left fish looks like L129.
