Unknown Peru Catfishes

Post by Mattbest23Peru »

Hello, I recently visited peru and got to do some fishing and caught some catfish species. I am not sure on some of the genus species names on a few of them. I have an album of the pictures on my flickr account with a short description on the pictures. I would greatly appreciate help anyone can give me! I apologize for the angles of some of the pictures.

Here is the link to the flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130281883 ... 476796121/
