Hi,

Caught this cat in a small river mouth to the sea in Malaysia. My guess is that it belongs to the Ariidae family. I'm interested in the specific species:

That is not a bad ID. @Silurus might be able to confirm.

Most ariids are nearly impossible to identify accurately without looking at the shape and disposition of the toothplates.

This looks more like to me.
