Bought this more than a year ago as Pseudobagarius sp. No geographic data unfortunately. I would appreciate any opinions on its species (or possibly even genus) identity.
Thank you,
DM

A forked caudal fin, presence of an adipose fin and what looks like a sub-terminal mouth do point towards a Pseudobagarius sp. indeed. Pseudobagarius similis perhaps?

I'm more inclined to think this is an Akysis. Perhaps .

Thank you, Shovelnose and Silurus. Do you think if I make other pics (dorsally and ventrally) they may help?

I don't think dorsal and ventral pics would be useful. It's either or , but I'm leaning towards the latter.
