I still say b. Rutilus...lol...i agree with ur observations of the round head and eye placement on the head being different than the other species. Ive only owned b. Bagarius HLG and imo its def. not a HLG. It seems to be showing more orange now thats its setteling in like rutilus.

I have to disagree. This looks nothing like the rutilus I had b/c ruti's do not have the heavy freckling that this 1 has. It looks exactly like the HLG's I had.

Rutilus


HLG #1


HLG #2


To the op, how big is it? It's eyes look freakin HUGE compared to its head.

Tank update. Put some river rocks in there. I hide the power head behind the rocks on the left side. Going to get more rocks to fill in the rest of the tank.

It has round eyes. This rules out everything but HLG and LLG. Given the spots and lack of facial tubercles, this fish is a small and possibly stunted HLG.

So Chicxulub. You don't think that he will get that big? what do you think stunted him? I have had him just short of a week now and i haven't been able to get him to eat. Any tips on this would be great.
