Pseudobagarius sp. ?

Post by dmcat »

Bought this more than a year ago as Pseudobagarius sp. No geographic data unfortunately. I would appreciate any opinions on its species (or possibly even genus) identity.
Thank you,
DM

A forked caudal fin, presence of an adipose fin and what looks like a sub-terminal mouth do point towards a Pseudobagarius sp. indeed. Pseudobagarius similis perhaps?

Vicar: It's about this letter you sent me regarding my insurance claim.
Devious: Oh, yeah, well, you see, it's just that we're not, as yet, totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
Vicar: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
Devious: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.

I'm more inclined to think this is an Akysis. Perhaps .

Thank you, Shovelnose and Silurus. Do you think if I make other pics (dorsally and ventrally) they may help?

I don't think dorsal and ventral pics would be useful. It's either or , but I'm leaning towards the latter.
