The first one I have no idea, the second one was sold to me as a black asian catfish, and the last one I think is a vaillantii.

2nd one is Bagrichthys macracanthus.

Perfect thank you that's definitely the one. Anyone have any idea on the first or the third?

I think the last one is either a Pimelodus blochii or a Brachyplatystoma vaillantii

First Ompok sp
Second Black Lancer (Bagrichthys macracanthus)
Third Brachyplatystoma sp..poss Villantii

Ohh, nice lancer! Always wanted one of those

Awesome I was hoping the last one was vaillantii. It's very skittish and hard to feed though.

Agree with Aquaman on the first two.

Ompok is most likely siluriodes.

Vaillantii is hard to ID, it appears. This would not be the first time we squabble over this fish's ID. A good starter thread http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=38098&hilit=UFO
