Amazon Catfish

Are the Jau' Catfish, Piraiba, and Filamentosum the same fish?
Ive always wondered...also are they Pimelodas?
Theyre all similar...but ive never really been able to find much on them...

"Jau catfish" is Zungaro zungaro

Piraiba are Filamentosum, Brachyplatystoma filamentosum to be exact.

Both are pimelodidae, just different species.
