Ageneiosus species, perhaps pardalis or polystictus https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/genus.php?genus_id=105#1916
or Tympanopleura looks close too, esp. sp(2) https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=1804
The second may be a Trachelyopterus species https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=1804
I am not good with rare driftwood catfish.

Yes I think you are right about the tympanopleura...the second one though I couldnt find anywhere .. i saw those pages as i was in the store but the second catfish just doesn't look like anything I've seen.. longer thin body .. could be in terrible shape though...all from peru
Yes, fish from suppliers sometimes comes with a few oddball, even rare one at that. Usually driftwood catfish variety. Like in this picture, one of the fish that suppliers caught.
I just tried to do more research .. I can't find this thing anywhere.. I'm going up there to take another look at it .. anyone else with any info on this fish ??? Eel like body with a gulper head??
That's because you are a sucker for mouthy driftwood cats.
Looks like Ageneious marmoratus baby.
I've vaguely recalled seeing and reading someone's posts on similar-looking catfish. I can't recall where. If you are that serious, post on PCF soon and get bumped in the right direction by experts.
They just came in.. they aren't in very good shape.. still a weird fish I've never seen
