What species of Silurichthys?

[dmcat]

I have this great cat for a couple of years. Bought as Silurichthys phaiosoma. I would be most grateful for suggestion on its identification. Hope it would be possible based on this pic.

It'd be easier to identify if you know where the fish came from (i.e. Sumatra or Borneo), but I suspect that this is

Silurichthys indragiriensis

.

Thanks, Silurus! I have checked under what common name it was sold. It is Borneo featherfin cat. Only subjectively I may assume that the seller identified it based on geography, i.e. Borneo. Could it be then S. phaiosoma?

If you got them from the Wet Spot, then I have very circumstantial evidence to work with. I know one of their sources from Singapore (Patrick Yap of Aquaculture Technologies), who has been getting shipments from Borneo (Kalimantan Tengah). Then again, Patrick also gets shipments from Sumatra (although Silurichthys are very rarely exported from there because of the low demand).

In short. I'd leave it as S. phaiosoma until more convincing evidence turns up.

Yes, this fish is from wet spot. Thanks, Silurus, again.
I have some more fish for id although most puzzling ones to me you've identified.
