Need an ID please

[Stump]

Hey, who here is good with catfish? I certainly am not. I am sure it's pimelodus, but trying to ID it myself got me a little .

I can't get any full body shots, but his barbels are as long as his body (5-6").

Recognize this pattern? It was sold to me as a 4-line, but I really don't think it is. Pictures of 4-lines are different. Don't mind the algae, it's in a hard to access corner.

Pimelodus mysteriosus? That was my guess...

Thanks!

I searched over there...I don't want to go through the hassle of joining and posting pictures, and waiting, and waiting... lol

I found this thread http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=27503&p=168577... It still is unresolved - and the closest pictures I have ever found. Again, I am not great with catfish, but I am almost positive it's the same kind of fish. Same head and everything.

im gonna go with P. mysteriosus. i would say its a pictus but the pattern is a bit off...

submit some of your pics to planetcatfish and see what they say. you should get quick answers if you provide clear shots..... or just compare the pics of your cat to those of the P. mysteriosus in the planetcatfish thread.
