Sorry no I don't, purchased from a local store that is know for getting in some rare catfish, including the Dorado and goonch. The person I spoke to said it's a bagarius bagarius hense why I purchased as they're known to stay smaller than the yarelli.

Bagarius yarrelli is now a synonym of B. bagarius.
