Hi All,
The above work (Atlas of the Freshwater Fishes of Venezuela) is a website worth visiting. The Coordinator for the site is Venezuelan ichthyologist Francisco Provenzano R. In addition to many other fishes, there are currently 35 species of catfishes that have informational and photo coverage. The site is in Spanish, but most should not have an overabundance of trouble extracting information from it. The link for the site is below. Enjoy!

It looks interesting but it is really hard to navigate. There are a number of species in here that would be great to have in the catelog.

Hi Shane, Jools and all.
Glad you liked the site. It hasn't changed in the last month of so, but I assume that they will be adding more as time goes along. Shane, with the better Spanish, might be able to confirm this from the introductory material. Jools, hopefully you can get use of some of the materials.
Re navigation: Once you get into the taxonomic groups it is pretty easy...just a lot of clicks.
