Would be interested to see photos.Does anyone know the difference between Silurus soldatovi and Silurus merdionalis? I’m seeing Wes list his wels as soldatovi but predatory fins is labeling as merdionalis. Not much Info out there for anything besides true wels. Frustrating.
meridionalis should I believe look Like a juvenile wells bit I think both jaws when young would be similar in length. Whereas the soldatovi should have a more extended head and the bottom jaw should be clearly longer than the top, even when young.
not sure how accurate this is but not much out there to go on.
Meridionalis are maybe a metre long fish ( although I think a little bigger may be possible personally) but soldatovi is reported to grow to four meters.
The one I see on predatory fins in my opinion is meridionalis.Would be interested to see photos.
