Chrysichthys from Côte d'Ivoire

Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus

, I guess?

Has the humeral spot and the big dorsal fin with black edge, but the lower caudal-fin lobe is larger rather than smaller than the upper.

I think so, only other thought would be C. maurus but I don't really know that species and from what I have in the clog, it's a brown not silver species.

These do seem to have a very different head profile (longer snout) than the aquarium specimens in the cat-elog

Yes, these don't bear a lot of resemblance to the fish in the CLOG, so I was going on info in Seegers, but that isn't great either.

In fact the exact same photo of C. nigrodigitatus in Seegers, is in the CLOG under

Chrysichthys longipinnis

.

[Silurus]

Chrysichthys teugelsi is another candidate.

Wow. Never would even thought this is a Chrysichthys. They look so different from what we know in the trade as aluminum catfish and its cousin Chrysichthys ornatus.

Is there something I am missing??

Confirmed by local fisheries staff as C. nigrodigitatus, and matches photos in their guide book pamphlet.

Feel free to add the photos to the CLOG.
