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'm a self-confessed non-expert, but some sort of Pimelodidae is what it looks like to me (the number of barbels are at least not excluding that idea - but I'm by no means sure).
I don't recognice this one as a Pimelodus blochii
A Pimelodus sp. for sure, but I have caught several Pimelodus blochii in south america, and no one looked like this one. Perhaps its a lokal variety?
