I've been browsing around the interweb still kind of intrigued by this and i see no sign of a confirmed perruno in captivity. I haven't even come up with a report of people exporting the fish from the rivers it lives in....At this point its looking like there are no true perrunos in the hobby and there probably wont be until somebody goes collecting them from Venezuala.
Perruno catfish! Is it out there?

Bump!
I'm trying to figure out what the 'perruno' i bought acctually is and came accross this thread. I posted a picture of it on a different thread that came back with it acctually being a 'Leiarius Marmoratus' or a Marble so just been to look it up in my Catfish book. The picture of the Perruno in my book looks more like what i have than the picture of the Leirius, There doesn't seem to be a marble in the book
My fella's very camera shy but got the pictures i do have of him and had a count up on his dorsal rays as best i could but i still don't know, any help appreciated. (I count 11 including the hard!)

100% marble. Sorry. Not saying that just to prove a point either all evidence points to a marble. People look at pattern way too much. Look at how much it varies in every other catfish species.
