What is my Pangasius?

[Innal]

All this pangasius fish from the mahakam river, in east borneo, Indonesia.
Patin Pulutan / Pulutan Pangasius, this fish have a mucus coming from the holes located at the rear fin. The other pangasius not have.

Patin Kuning / Yellow Pangasius, just like a another pangasius, but can grow up bigger to 50 kg.

Strange Pangasius : I recently have seen this type of fish. The strange shape of the head, and his slimy yellow. If held, sticky mucus

[Silurus]

Patin Pulutan / Pulutan Pangasius, this fish have a mucus coming from the holes located at the rear fin. The other pangasius not have.

This is Pangasius kunyit, and all pangasiids have the porus pectoralis (the holes at the base of the pectoral fin through which the mucus comes out of).

The other one might be young P. nasutus. Do you have pictures of the adult fish?

[Viktor Jarikov]

HH, are you lumping fish #2 and #3 together when you say "the other"? Or are you saying #1 and #2 are the same? Maybe I am confused but I thought the OP is asking about three types of fishes.

Pangasius kunyit is not in Cat-eLog.

Here, only the Patin Pulutan / Pangasius kunyit produce mucus in large quantities. Other types do not have a porus pectoralis, just the whole body is slimy, but not much. Here I show the picture is more detailed and closer about the porus pectoralis in pangasius pulutan / pangasius kunyit and other pangasius who dont have porus pectoralis.

P. Nasutus : I dont have pictures of adult fish. I just once show this species last week ago. I think is a new fish? LOL

What about 2nd picture? are this is Pangasius mahakamensis?

I Mean each fish are different.

the last -third- yellow fish labelled "strange Pangasius" does look more like an Ariid to me


the fins are all wrong for a Pangasius:
anal fin is too short, ventrals are too large, the dorsal's too far back, adipose's too big

Innal - would you consider submitting the photos for use in cat-e-log?

I dont know anything about it, so every thing you share, i really apreciate it. And one more, every fish who does look like pangasius, we call it pangasius. Ha ha ha...

Okey, of course . But in what section? I am still new at this, please help. Does the rubric Update? (Recent Images Update or Recent Species Update?

[Viktor Jarikov]

I think Sid is right - the third fish is a marine cat/sea cat. Looks a lot like it. That also explains HH's answer and eliminates my question: HH addressed the first two fish, the Pangasiids, and the third is clearly different.

I am hoping to add some of these pics (minus text) to the site now. Did we ever get a view on the Ariid?

Cheers,
