Hi bros and sis,

Can anyone help me with the ID of this fish? I bought it few days back. Need to confirm weather its a Probabus Jullieni?

I googled Leptobarbus hoevenii, and it seems they never have this many striations. Juveniles have one horizontal striation.

Also, their profile stays much more streamlined than the P. julii
 
is it just me or does this jullieni's lip looks too thin? i recall jullieni having a thicker more sucker-like mouth ..... could this be another probarbus sp. like the probarbus labeominor ( which i heard has thinner lip)

If you look close in the pics you can see that the top lip/mouth has been damaged from either hitting tank sides or from shipping.
