i personally perfer these guys i think they're closely related...

 

[Yellowcat]

Some similarities as in having flat compressed heads and both will bury themselves in sand or gravel to ambush live food but chaca-chaca come from Asia and l. alexandri come only from Brazil...

Extremely rare because Brazil banned exportation of them. The only ones you will find have been in the country since before the ban and will be adults. Price wise it's whatever the seller wants to ask for them because most people who know this fish will pay almost anything to get them.

Not really closely related at all. Chaca sp. are in the Chacidae family Lophiosilurus alexandri is in the Pseudopimelodidae family. The fish come from completely different continents. Unless you meant they are related by being in the order Siluriformes than yeah they are kind of related but so are all catfish for that matter.
