I've had this image kicking around my hard drive for months, if not longer. The only info I have to go by is the file name.

This is a neat looking catfish I've never seen before. Does anyone have any more information?

It was recently discovered in the Mekong River area. Its common name just seems to be sucker fish, and it uses its mouth to adhere to rocks in very fast-flowing rivers. The genus name seems to be Oreoglanis. Looks like there's three species? Good luck finding out more about them!
