Id on ablino catfish

[Ahrenstein]

I picked this catfish up today and not sure what it is not even the store

Hmmm perhaps albino channel catfish?

[Jools]

My first thought was a bagrid, probably

Hemibagrus nemurus

. Looks like a sloping head as opposed to the more bullish channel cat. But more pics would confirm.

Oh yeah that does look more like the bagrid one

[Viktor Jarikov]

I think it is the same fish as mine: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=36790&hilit=mystus

I'm still new at identification, but isn't that photo of the catfish missing the two large barbels present on the sides of the mouth of Asian Redtail Catfish?

[Viktor Jarikov]

The maxillary barbels are there I am pretty sure. The fish probably held them back closer to the body at the time of the photo and white on white is hard or impossible to see.

Asian RTC is Hemibagrus wyckioides, which this fish is definitely not. It is probably nemurus or maybe spilopterus or some other similar species. As it is farm raised, could even be an intra-genus hybrid, who knows...
