I agree

P. gibbiceps can get to around 2 foot (total length) 18" standard length
P. pardalis are closer to 14" SL
p. joselimaianus are smaller still at around 12" SL

P.pardalis can grow around 24"TL if I'm not mistaken. That may be in the wild though. I've personally never owned a p. pardalis.

I have had 2 p. paradalis, and neither got much over a foot. Planet catfish has them listed at 350mm (13.8").
Here's a link to some good info.

To the OP, nice plecs and I agree with the ids, 1 being L001, 2 being L021.

whoa, youre right.
thats the importance of having good pics when you need a fish to be i.d.
the bottom one's a gibby.
