Did you know fantastic help is an anagram of Planet Catfish? This forum is for those of you with pictures of your catfish who are looking for help identifying them. There are many here to help and a firm ID is the first step towards keeping your catfish in the best conditions.
I took pics of the other fish in the tank. Will upload it tomorrow. Your fish look more C115-like than the other specimen I think.
I'll take pics of my own C115/116 too for comparison.

To my untrained eye those last three all look the same. Interestingly, they all have ~9 stripes in the tail whereas the original pic has only ~6. Don't know if that's significant though.
Looking at Kampfer's picture, they look quite similar to my picture. So assuming it is the same as Kampfer's and his came in with C091, and if all C091 come from Rio Huallaga then perhaps it is a C092 as Ian suggests?
Here's my pic of the other specimen...the stripe is a little longer. I think Kampfers pic comes pretty close...
C92 was also mentioned in the discussion at the Convention. I am really not shure what to think. I can see resemblences to both C115 and C92. Perhaps it's neither?
I've had a look at my pics of C115/116 I took at Stingray Aquarium in Peru in 2008 and evn though there's a lot of fish in their tanks none has the longe stripe that the last specimen shows. Not that it means there's no C115/116 that could have this long stripe
