Re: ID Help
It does, but I can't see the caudal fin. Given the fleshy base to the barbles and overall shape is quite possible. Because I can't see the caudal fin and given the fish it's in with, that's its a fresh import and so slender relative to what it will develop into, it might also be some West African but identifying those is not easy.
