What is the import source? Can you get a side photo of these? If the color pattern is more solid black, they're probably raninus or cf. raninus. If the color pattern is more like a bunch of small brown or black spots that overlap to form the bands, they might be villosus or cf. villosus.

Hey guys my LFS just got some of these in they are labeled as batrochoglanis raninus

Thank you for all the info I'm most likely going to keep the batrochoglanis raninus solo

Has anyone ever kept a trio/group of batrochoglanis raninus together? I am getting a few imported in 2 weeks time.
Thanks in advance!

How big do batrochoglanis Transmontanus get.

Got this giant bumblebee catfish a week ago do you guys thinks it's a bufonius (catch location tocantis).
