[mkman]

Is it a yarrelli? If not, can someone tell me how to ID a yarrelli from a bagarius bagarius?

Hey guys, Loubard had mentioned 7 dorsal rays means bagarius and 6 means yarrelli..............does everyone see 7 or 6 dorsal on this one?

i see 7 or 8?
doesnt look like my b. bagarius.
i think yarelli have a higher body.

Not convinced its a Bagarius at all, most likely Glyptothorax sp possibly Glyptothorax rugimentum.

Whats the size of this stunning cat?

I checked up Glyptothorax rugimentum on planetcatfish and you may be right.....does look like it. Do you know anymore like size wayne the pain?

i think wayne's right...
patterns different from any species of bagarius.
face is also quite different.
