I apologise for the poor quality of the pictures, I had to use my phone. I got this fish today as when I seen it in the shop it was hidden apart from its head and I thought it was clarias batrachus in the wild form colours...something I had been looking for for a while, I asked if this was the case and got a shrug of the shoulders from the guy in the shop. Anyway, when I got the fish home I realised the dorsal and caudal fin are not that of a clarias, but I'm struggling to find an id. It's head and whiskers are very similar to clarias, it is redish in colour with small eyes that almost look blue in certain light. Thanks in advance for your help.
