Identify supposed to be from Tanganyika

[juarez.john22]

I[attachment=1]20171111_084620.jpg[/attachment] purchased these from San Diego, CA. Their supplier said they were wild caught from Lake tanganyika. No one has been able to ID. They are catfish but unknown as to what species. Any info or thoughts are appreciated.

Looks like

Chrysichthys graueri

As I tried to tell you on MFK ( https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/foru ... st-7839915 ), it is a Chrysichthys species. I'd not dare to call the species but I like Dave's call.

Viktor, yes, thank you. But, I wanted to utilize all resources to get as much feedback as possible. Dave , thank you.

You have every right to. No problem. If there is any place I know of that could help you with the species ID, Planet Catfish would be it.

It's a large genus with many similar-looking species https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/ge ... d=153#2121.

As the datasheet linked by Dave states, the graueri inhabits specifically Lake Tanganyika.
