Is this catfish Megalechis personata or M. thoracata?

I think these are M. personata.

You'll know the instant you breed them.
I actually would have said M. thoracata due to the small size of the spots, the squared-off caudal fin and (although quite light in the photos) black-bar of color at the base of the caudal fin.
As adults they can be difficult to distinguish, as juveniles they are as different as night and day.

O.K. I have some pictures of young - length about 5 cm.

Clearly they are M. personata
