RCK seems to have much larger spots with some irrugular lines. The one Oleoleole's pics shows much smaller spots and compacted together. Almost cheetah spots like. We still don't know yet. Will wait for the owner's answer.
Chitala hypselonotus and Chitala borneensis

It's funny that this thread was like dead for almost two years without a single reply and now it's the hottest thread in knifefish section.
Hope you can translate it.

Google didn't do very well with Tai translation... But the picture of that knife is great!
I say that it is a cross between a P Afer knife and a clown knife-Same pattern and shines my P. Afer, but body shape and size screams clown knife!

Chitala Hypselonotus have spots at the base of the fins, but the pic is too blurry to tell. Was formerly labeled as Chitala CF. Lopis. For the Chitala Borneensis spots are all over lower half of the body just like in the pics Oleoleole posted. Was formerly labeled as Chitala CF. blanci.
Now that I know what C. borneensis actually looks like. Now I just need to find some clearer pics of the C. hypselonotus but I also now have sort of an idea on what it looks like. Just a matter of time when both will end up in my tank. Lol!

My buddy got 2x 26" chitala lopis that were wild caught and it does not have any patterns at all. Also the chitala lopis I saw back in Asia does not have patterns as well. It was claimed to be wild caught.
