which one of the parauchenoglanis species is most commonly imported Parauchenoglanis balayi or Parauchenoglanis guttatus ??

Neither. Anaspidoglanis macrostoma is the species almost exclusively imported.

well on the stocklist i have it says parauchenoglanis, do you still think its niether of the fish i mentioned and infact the one you mentioned?

Yes, Anaspidoglanis macrostoma was Parauchenoglanis macrostoma not too long ago. Despite the name change, many dealers and importers are still using the old name, whose identity was easily confused with P. guttatus. "Parauchenoglanis" ballayi is actually an Auchenoglanis species.

AFAIK, P. guttatus is almost never imported for the aquarium trade.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.
