1.Pangasius sanitwongsei
2.Redtail catfish
3.megalodoras urinsoscopus
4.Tigrinus
5.Juruense
6.goonch
7.Psudodoras niger
8.Brachyplatastoma filamantosum
9.Gulper
10.giraffe nosed catfish
11.vulture cat
12.sun cat
13.Lithodoras dorsalis
14.Harlequin lancer
15.Liosomadoras oncinus -leopard cat

@Krichardson and Oddball, I choose 15 because you always see top 10 and top 5 lists so I figured I'd pick a number you don't see often. But in hindsight, yes I could've broken it down :)
