Is this a Brachyplatystoma flavicans???

Cos I found out that...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachyplatystoma

B. flavicans is not actually a species of Brachyplatystoma; this name is a commonly used synonym of Zungaro zungaro.[4]

so my guess is it is a Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii??

thanks for the ID

One Big headed little guy isn't it ... Wish I knew what it was for you.

It ok..I just like it...

 

[katfishguy]

it is a flavicans, but very skinny and with a damaged mouth. I have 3 flavicans, one that is close to 20" and 6 years old,, they are cool fish except the fact that they are very skittish and will end up bruising their snout so much u start feeling sorry for them. As much as i like them, I would say that these fish are not meant to be in fish tanks, may be in big ponds.
