Thank you, HH. So, I assume you think uranoscopus because Megalodoras guayoensis likely does not enter the trade, right?
The body, head, and fin shape I thought too were of a M. uranoscopus. The coloration threw me off.
Does anyone else find this coloration markedly far from that of the irwinies we usually see in the trade?

Surely the blue lighting does not help but looks like I am the only one. Good to know. Thanks.

Coincidence that I just opened the new (may 2014) Journal of the Catfish Study Group and there is an article by Mark Sabaj Perez where he discusses a third Megalodoras yet undescribed which they believe
is from the Rio Xingu above Belo Monte
...it looks remarkably like the one in the pictures above.
