If this came from the Mahakam, then it's not B. macracanthus, but B. vaillantii.

Identification is what this section of Planet Catfish is all about, so yes, go ahead and upload photos - give as much information as possible, including where it was caught. It is probably best to have one or two species per thread - it can get quite confusing when there is a long discussion and several different species of fish.
