what size are they?
 
my first impression is one of the species from the genus glyptothorax
 
Smaller species reported to only grow 6-12" max...i only had em for about 2 yrs from 2"-6" in size.

looks a lot like Glyptothorax siamensis but size don't match. give me a few lol.
 
Def. Some type of glyptothorax thanks necro...after finding some pics a couple look very very close to a bagarius species.

i can't narrow down the exact species, but on planet catfish the pics of Glyptothorax siamensis look the closest. :) says max size is 4" though it could be wrong as these cats haven't been studied in depth.
 
they are in Sisoridae just like bagarius. :) most have a suction disk like structure on their underside.
