Where you at brother?
Would be better to get a side on pick
A lot of species look similar when younger. (Think ater, novaeguineae, brevidorsalis) so location can really help with id

I'm not sure where they are from exactly, the supplier just said they are some sort of Tandan, which I doubt they are. Over here we do occasionally have imported fish from Indonesia and Australia

Really hard to id them. You could have a go on the Facebook page Australian native catfish. Some pretty knowledgeable fellas on there - much better with this soft of stuff than me. I’d just say neosilurus sp and call it a day

Hard to tell from what I see. If I had to chose at this point I would go neosilurus novaguinieae but the whiskers on top of the nose look a little thicker like tandan.
do you think they could potentially be N. ater? Aquarium Glaser had some a few days ago on their YouTube channel which seem to resemble mine somewhat but yes you could be right

Don’t look to have the extended snout I would expect with n. Ater. But again, could be, hard to tell.
