ID Catfish?

[StanV]

Hello everyone, long time no post lol. Anyways about a week ago I went to my LFS. Was looking to get a little cleanup crew to help keep the bottom of my 125g a little clean after my messy Oscars lol. The sealers girl recommended catfish. She specifically recommended these cats out of the others that they were selling. There was 7 but I ended up getting 3 all about the same size around “3 inches”. They did have 1 that was about 6-7 inches and a little chunky. (I wish I would’ve taken a picture of it) but anyways she sold them to me as “Pictus catfish” for $20 each. But I just wanted to see the specific cat they are because when I search up pictus they have polkadots. These don’t as you can see… so what kind of cats are they?

I think they may be four line pictus catfish. So, yes they are pictus, they just aren’t standard.

The species name would be Pimelodus blochii. There’s an entry for them on Planetcatfish.
