Pinirampus vs Exallodontus
1. Exallodontus adipose is a tiny bit taller and asymmetric and almost has a semi-sharp point closer to the dorsal while Pinirampus' adipose looks symmetric, low, without any defined points.
2. Exallodontus dorsal is a bit shorter vs. Pinirampus.
3. Pinirampus tail looks oversized vs the head size, which doesn't look like it for Exallodontus.
4. Pinirampus has faint spotted vertical lines on the body which are absent in Exallodontus.
AquaImport's fish and Rpul's fish match Pinirampus in these 4 traits.
Megalonema genus cats don't match the fish in question. For one their adipose fins are vastly different.

Pinirampus pirinampu Grow out.
I seem to have got very lucky the other day. as a shipment arrived in the uk via awell Known store. I was contacted about a possible Pinirampus pirinampu mixed in with a group of vulture catfish that arrived into the uk from Peru. Whilst very small fish. Around 1.5” long. It was hard to be sure...
