Luciopimelodus
''Luciopimelodus pati'' is a South American species of fresh water, freshwater long-barbel (anatomy), whiskered catfish that inhabits the basin of the Río de la Plata and the Blanco River of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Its scientific name originates from its common name ''patí'', though it may be simply referred to as ''pez gato'' ("catfish") in Spanish language, Spanish. This species is the only recognized species in its genus. It is found mostly in turbid and deep waters with moderate current. This fish can reach up to fish measurement, TL. This fish is sparingly seen as an aquarium fish. References External links ''Luciopimelodus pati'' morphology(images) at the Center for Systematic Biology and Evolution, Academy of Natural Sciences.

Pimelodidae
The Pimelodidae, commonly known as the long-whiskered catfishes, are a family of catfishes ( order Siluriformes). Taxonomy The family Pimelodidae has undergone much revision. Currently, it contains about 30 genera and about 90 recognized and known but unnamed species. Wikipedia lists 109 species in this family. The low-eye catfish (previously family Hypophthalmidae), and thus the genus '' Hypophthalmus'', which contains four species, was reclassified with the pimelodids. This family previously included fish that are now classified under Pseudopimelodidae (previously subfamily Pseudopimelodinae) and Heptapteridae (previously subfamily Rhamdiinae). This family also previously included '' Conorhynchos conirostris'', currently ''incertae sedis''. However, a molecular analysis has shown unequivocal support for monophyly of the individual families and the genus ''Conorhynchos'' into a clade called Pimelodoidea, including Pimelodidae + Pseudopimelodidae and Heptapteridae + ''Conorhynch ...
