New Species of Catfish?

Post by tropicalfishexporter »

I looked and looked and I'm unable to ID this catfish. It's from Kinsasha in Congo Africa caught near the Stanley pools. Any pros here have any ideas what this might be ?

I may be wrong but I think it's an albino
Chrysichthys
. But since it's albino, I don't know which species.

Would go with
Clarotes
- albinos turn up from time to time.

In that case, only
Clarotes laticeps
is listed near Kinshasa according to GBIF. Don't know if this fish matches its traits.
