Hi,
the new one from Mark doesn't show a P. hystrix I think.
Refering to this one: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/im ... e_id=15993
- the dorsal fin is rounded but should have the shape of a triangular in P. hystrix
- the tail should be broader but in this specimen it gets thinner to the end
- colouration and pattern doesn't match at all
I think this is L 273.

Re: New picture of P. hystrix
I am slightly relieved you say that, I was not sure myself and went with the long fin extensions. A lot of Mark's excellent pictures are of fishes straight out-of-the-box and so can sometimes show misleading colouration.
I will move it now.
