Giraffe but which one?

[JamesStuddart]

Any help on this would be good.

I picked this up yesterday, the previous owner was unsure of the species.

But it could be Auchenoglanis wittei or Auchenoglanis acuticeps





thanks

[sidguppy]

this is likely wittei
acuticeps has many more small spots and the contrast between background color and spots color is much more pronounced

also: imports from Lake Albert are rare and imports from the Congo where wittei occurs over a very large area are much more common.

it looks a lot like the usual Auchenoglanis we can find in the shops; almost all of those are wittei

Thanks for info.

I've seen giraffes fir sale before this size, biuger and smaller. But they are normally a dull brown or grey.
Lovely looking fish all the same.
I've not posted on here much before, but locals etc is where I fall down, every time.
Also identifying the less commonly kept fish too. But need another nice cat for the bottom of the tank I think and that's done for now. Maybe. Megalodoras or something

Cheers again,
