PIMELODUS CELESTIS (Jumper catfish) ?

[thebiggerthebetter]

Looks like in the picture but with different color. Does propimelodus sp have color variation like mystus sp?

I've no clue. We appear to know exceedingly little about this rather new genus. J jaws7777 Rodrigo says his fish IS 16" already, right?

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.

Here is one at 17" from Primo Aquatics:
