What are these catfishes? (It is from locality RÃo Victoria.)

Corydoras ehrhardti or C. paleatus ?

Otocinclus? But what kind is it?

Loricariinae sp. - LG6 or not?

Glanidium leopardum ?

Bergiaria westermanni or not?

Hi again. I can't help you much, but:
- that Cory is not C. paleatus
- the "Glanidium" looks like some sort of Trachelyopterus species. It's pattern is very nice, so I can imagine the "leopardum".

The last fish is not Bergiaria. Bergiaria is generally more slender and has a slightly different predorsal profile.

It looks like a member of the Pimelodus blochii group, or more likely, P. absconditus.

The Otocinclus might be an O. flexilis with very washed out coloration (due to stress?). I believe the auchenipterid is Trachelyopterus galeatus. Specimens from the southern end of its range appear to have more contrasting color.

Hi there,

Not sure if this is appropriate to the location quoted, but for the Corydoras:

Corydoras ellisae

closer to paleatus definately not ehrhardti or ellisae but could well be one of the new paleatus types coming out

I would say C. sp cf paleatus - C114
