i have 'adopted' four large catfish. now i 'think' one is a sailfin catfish of some sort but unsure of the rest. can anyone help?? i tried catfish^planet but the pictures are not showing up for me on there so is a bit useless trying! im sure someone here said the silver one began with a p!!


this is the one i think is a sailfin

and the others (two pics of the first two and a few pics of the other one)

many thanks!

The first one is Synodontis eupterus.
The silver one in the 2nd/3rd pics is a Pimelodus, can't tell which species from the pics.
The brown striped one I have no clue.
The last one looks like it may be a Hoplo of some sort.

yeah the first 1 is a synodontis eupterus (feather fin cat)
last 1 is def a hoplosternum catfish
and not sure on the others, will see if i can find anything

edit: the brown 1 in the 2nd and 3rd pic is some kind of loach.go on www.loaches.com and see if theres anything there.

the 3rd one reminds me of a giraffe type but could be wrong

The silvery pim is a Pimelodus blochii and the striped one is a riverine Synodontis species most likely from the brichardi complex.

The other two are bang on correct being a S.eupterus and a Hoplo.
