Catfish ID?

[LiftBig315]

I also posted this in the photo thread. Got these as pictus cats, not knowing anything about cats....but I was hoping you guys/gals could identify them and let me know what size I can expect from them?

They are in a 125 with my Oscars and Firemouths.....I asked the guy for some bottom feeders that would go well with them.

Pimelodella gracilis is what i got and it looks alot like that but without the blotches which might be something of maturity

I suppose they are around 8 inches? give or take a little.

Any Idea how big they get?

I agree, although Rhamdia cf. humilis is a possibility as well.

I am thinkin that you hit it on the head there...they look alot more like the fish I have...looks like the max is 13-14 Inches...should be interesting, I am definately gonna have to upgrade to a nice BIG tank with all those fish just a better excuse
