I am not aware that any Rhamdia species has venom associated with the spines.

Jose, your English is fine and I understand every word that you say. The pictures tell the story, anyway. You know I think you are very fortunate to be able to pluck so many great fish out of your local area waters. My favorite is the C. millesi, if that's what it is. What great fins! Thanks for showing us all these wonderful photos. :D

Hi Jose. Great pictures.

The "Rineloricara" you caught look more like Farlowella sp. to me.

They are huge though!

Out of interest, what was the temperature of the water?

Well, I think the Farlowella is F. vittata, but its the benthic species that used to be F. angostura but got lumped into F. vittata. The "Cordlyancistrus" is a Chaetostoma and the "C. milesi" looks like a species of Hypostomus to me. Shane should be back online in a week or so, I am sure he will comment more accurately than me in the future.
