What kind of Schilbeidae

Post by Guy_P »

Can anyone tell me if my fishshop had the right name. This catfish was sold as Pseudeutropius moolenburghae, but I think it is a Pseudeutropius brachypopterus. Hope there is someone who can help me

Yes, this is P. brachypopterus. They sometimes occur in mixed schools with P. molenburghae.
