Likely Centromochlus macracanthus; looking for confirmation

Post by Fallen_Leaves16 »

Basically the title. Purchased a "Tatia galaxia" from exoticfishshop.net, as I know a local friend who received a true galaxias instead of intermedia from them (fish died under his care, though). Received an oddly-coloured woodcat that I assumed to be macracanthus (further evident by the colouration after it had settled in). Can anyone confirm?
