Nope not Perruno.
More likely to be L.Mammoratus / L.Longbarbis
Has too many Dorsal Rays for Perruno which only have 8 Dorsal fin Rays.
Perruno in the trade are incredibly rare as they are only generally availabe from Lake Maracaibo - & not exports come from there.
Still a beautiful fish nethertheless.
Looks identical to my L.Mammoratus which is about 28" long too.
Great fish

I have a TSNxLei(tiger Shovel Nose) (L.Marmoratus). And mine even has those spot things on Him 
L.Marmoratus are one of My Fav fish. Coolest fish IMO
L.Marmoratus are one of My Fav fish. Coolest fish IMO best to keep this catfish in a light base tank to bring out the markings.
Keeping it in a black tank will cause the markings to darken and merge giving you a brown catfish... and tats what happen to my perruno.
