PIMELODUS CELESTIS (Jumper catfish) ?

[justarn]

These are for sale locally and I'm curious, the name has no results on planet catfish...
I can't find any real info online other than pimlodus sp.

There's actually no described species called Pimelodus celestis, so it seems that this name has been made up by exporters or collectors.

I'll take a look through the pim family on pcf the fish sure looks familiar but so many species look similar, possible it's a new species in the hobby as well. I believe their family can use some work lol

Hard to say from that one photo but this fish may be the same enigmatic fish from these threads:

Lol, I just added in who I knew is on regularly.
Cheers Viktor, possibly a 6" max size then hmmm.
Probably a bit small for me then...

Second thoughts Viktor the fish I have pictured seems to have a different shaped adipose...
If that's the actual fish and not a generic pic.

The fish on this thread looks a bit like a juvie Brachy vaillantii.
