Yes, I was looked at Rod's fish too but decided that these are some other species. I am not sure these are even Tor. Looks like Neolissochilus to my eye. It's okay. Mahseer ID is hard.
I’d bet a lot of money that they are.
Just looking at the thickness of the body of the fish.
Don't mean to high jack but adding to your definition of slender mahseer. This is a putitora I got from Wes years ago. The one in the back is neo hex which has a different head shape. Small fish is too hard to identify. Grow them out and see.
Absolutely gorgeous. You’re not high jacking anything. This is an open thread. Feel free anyone to add to what they want! How long did he take to get that size
Update: they are doing well. I am away for a couple days hopefully all tanks are okay . Only 2 1/2 days really. They are in a small qt tank and I’ve noticed they are very skittish at this size, about 3.5”. They only have a huge sponge filter and a single plant for cover, and I notice they hug the ground very tightly. But when I leave the room I see them dart around. Tempted to buy 3 more.

Mahseer in general will be pretty timid if you only have a few. Once you have more, they will swim around and beg for food more.
I added a singluar, and yes I mean single Phoenix barb, from the batch Vik got. They sold out so they refunded me for the other. He’s doing very well. The mahseer are beasts. 4-5” now. Ain’t too bad. Small tank. They’ll be upgraded soon.
They’ve hit 7”. I am upgrading these guys as well. Eventually they’ll be in a 10’ x 5’ x 3’ tank. I’ve added a Chinese high fin shark/loach. He’s getting outcompeted for food everytime I look into the tank, so he won’t be in the tank too much longer.
