The fish swimming above looks like or a close relative, I don’t know what the bottom fish is though
I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...

Looks like anduzadoras to me , or hassar cat group, possibly oxyrhynchus, but could be wrong.

Bottom looks to be a Leptodoras. Maybe

Yes, looking closer I would agree. The eye is too small for anduzadoras.

Hi Everyone, thank you for your input.
The fish on top was sold by the shop as Opsodoras leporhinus from Peru.
The long catfish a the bottom was only called Leptodoras. it does not have the long dorsal fin ray so not L. juruensis but all the other species look very similar!
Thank you again!
