PIMELODUS CELESTIS (Jumper catfish) ?

Perhaps this could a bit of stretch but maybe an Iheringichthys could be a match?
Please correct me if you think otherwise.

IMHO yes, it is one of the possible genus. Full list more or less is in my prior post:
Well, that's in part what I meant by one photo where the fish is turning a bit too.
That might be a good observation. If you aim to get technical, run through all species of Exallodontus, Iheringichthys, Propimelodus, Pimelodus, Pinirampus, and Pimelodella for starters and see if you find only 10-20 matches and we'll go from there
Seriously though, it seems fish like these are very hard to ID to us hobbyists. Still, it'd be impressive to even try. I just have no time, nor motivation. Sorry.
this guy's a bit of a fish noob but it looks like he has the same catfish that youre talking about ('jumper' catfish) can get a good view of the fish around the 9:08 mark, hopefully allows someone to ID.
i think its definitely some type of Brachy.
In the video the fish have stockier build, that's a B. vaillantii. In the OPs post, it is a different fish. Would help if there's more photo of the OPs fish.
Yeah, Paul's fish looks like a vaillantii to me too.
