auchenipterichthys/Mystus?

Post by Harry94 »

Hi,
In the LFS, there is a large catfish(around 15cm SL). It has the exact body shape of an
Auchenipterichthys coracoideus
but has a steely gray body with a golden diamond around the gill area. No pictures yet, though I may be able to get some tomorrow.

Thanks for your help
Harry

Major: Now what's this... stone, stone, stone, (looks down at his hand) and scissors. Now. Scissors cut everything, don't they?
Sergeant: Not stone, sir.
Major: They're very good scissors!!

How much do you think they're worth? Is £10 about the right kind of value?

Thanks

They are commercially bred in Thailand, so they're not really worth all that much. Given the size of the fish, I'd say the price is probably about right.
