Would this be something the community would like to see? I've got a pretty good handle on that genus as well and could probably bang something out relatively quickly. Unlike Bagarius, this one is pretty academic and shouldn't take me two years to complete.

This would be awesome and sticky-worthy. Imo. The members are getting more and more available and it would really help those who pick up some.
Would be better if u could include a care guide boss

Sure, esp. if you focus on gray areas -
- capa vs fila,
- jur vs flash zebra,
- vaillantii vs look alike from smaller-medium Pims (http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=38098&start=20), esp. Pimelodus albicans, Iheringichthys species, and Duopalatinus peruanus.

Will do, Viktor. Capa vs. Fila is academic when small, they're as easy as a jur and a tig until about 18". Vaillanti vs its doppelgangers is a GREAT idea. I'll be sure to include those.
I'm not sure how happy people will be on my take of jur vs flash zebra though. I'm convinced that the differentiation is in the eye of the beholder and I intend to write as much.

You won't set it in stone or so I presume and whatever anyone writes reflects their opinion. Someone disagrees? Let them argue their side in a thread, in a well-written piece, passage, article (such as yours are), add it to the sticky if deemed valuable and sticky-worthy-written, etc.
Moreover, my personal preference is to not allow general access and keep stickies short and sweet: "Here is current knowledge, consensus, concentrate, state of the art" sort of thing and link the corresponding discussion thread in there. I'm of the opinion a sticky is a reference material, a field guide entry. Having many pages of discussion or worse yet unrelated questions, or even worse yet meaning-free one-liners turns ~all away from a sticky.
A place in a sticky must be earned.
On a different and needless topic, pictures and drawings are the best aids in learning. Save the typing. Photograph and draw stuff e.g., like Wednesday13's drawing on how to tell TSNs - tigrinum, fasciatum and reticulatum.

I've read my post above again. It sounds too arrogant and authoritative. Sorry. If not understood as merely such, I meant to only express my opinion that no one has to listen to and they are better off when they don't. Besides, my opinion can be easily changed if for a good reason.
