It's definitely not a b. raninus, that's for sure... This is b. raninus:

I agree. It is either a young transmontanus or acanthochiroides, based on its locality and pattern.

Hi Steve,

would you or someone conversant in Latin, translate this rediculous name. What a blinkin mouthful!

Spare us all... What's it's common name???

These fish are rare or non-existent in the hobby and therefore no common name. Most members of the genus batrochoglanis and pseudopimelodus are lumped together in the fish trade as "South American Giant Bumblebee Catfish"...

Cephalosilurus cats, at least, have been called "Jelly or Jello catfish", e.g., . They do feel like a jello/jelly, depending on your English origins, to a touch.

So are called Zungaros too, e.g., , but "Giant" is added there, versus "orange", "red", or "rusty" for Cephalosiluruses.
