Just got the right time to take a picture of one of my favorite hemibagrus. Usually they came along with nemurus & sold under that name.
-With H. nemurus (right)

Cheers ;)

Nice catfish, any idea how big they get?

Thank you.
Haven't got any idea honestly. Some of my friends said have seen 30 to 35cm specimens, but it's only an estimate.

What's their temperament and aggressiveness?

As there is only a preserved specimen pictured in cat-e-log would you consider sending pics to be included?

Yeah, good idea, Richard. I am not trying to stir the pot but are we sure of the ID? Better secure Silurus's opine first?

Indeed - @Silurus, are you about at all?

Sorry to be a pest but need Silurus' input.

It's a member of the H. planiceps species group, but it's easier to identify if I knew where it came from.

Little less timid compared to nemurus & don't hesitate to go out during daytime, but still very skittish when approached by people. I don't really have problem keeping the fish (about 14cm SL week ago) with 6.5cm agamyxis & 8cm carpintis in 90l quarantine tank for a month.

Sure.
I'm having a little trouble taking better pics of him (not sure), really have to spend more time working on this.

Comes from West Java, could be from Bogor or Sukabumi area.


Cheers

If it's from Java, then it's H. planiceps.
