Glyptothorax telchitta?
I have 2 of this for more than 2 years. Bought as Glyptothorax telchitta but I guess they don't look like those... I would appreciate opinions on their identification. Again, no geography unfortunately.
Thanks,
DM

Re: Glyptothorax telchitta?
This is not telchitta. I am not sure what it is though, looks like a SE Asian species rather than an Indian species to me.

Devious: Oh, yeah, well, you see, it's just that we're not, as yet, totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
Vicar: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
Devious: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.

Based on color pattern and overall appearance, I'd say this is either G. burmanicus or G. cavia.

Re: Glyptothorax telchitta?
Silurus, what would you lean to, G. burmanicus or G. cavia? I see that the first picture of G. cavia in Cat-eLog shows exactly what I have...

Re: Glyptothorax telchitta?
I have not seen very young G. burmanicus, but because the adults of both species are very similar in appearance, I would assume that young G. burmanicus look like young G. cavia. I have only seen very young G. cavia (the first picture in the Cat-eLog was taken by me during the 2004 India trip...on a day that Jools was laid out in the hotel after a negative experience with Indian cuisine).
Based on availability, it seems that G. cavia is more likely (because I have encountered G. cavia exported as aquarium fish, but not G. burmanicus).
