Post by Weirder_weird »

Can anyone help ID this Glyptothorax? It is incredibly secretive, hiding among Cryptocoryne all day. WIll try to post a lateral shot later.

I suspect this one photo is not sufficient for ID, except maybe by an expert.

If the body is nearly uniformly dark, then I'd say this is
Glyptothorax indicus

It does look like indicus, and I'm not any expert but https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/im ... ge_id=5496 has a similar tail band, no?
