what size are they?

 

[necrocanis]

my first impression is one of the species from the genus glyptothorax

Smaller species reported to only grow 6-12" max...i only had em for about 2 yrs from 2"-6" in size.

looks a lot like Glyptothorax siamensis but size don't match. give me a few lol.

Def. Some type of glyptothorax thanks necro...after finding some pics a couple look very very close to a bagarius species.



The 6 i had were long and skinny like this glypto

i can't narrow down the exact species, but on planet catfish the pics of Glyptothorax siamensis look the closest. says max size is 4" though it could be wrong as these cats haven't been studied in depth.

they are in Sisoridae just like bagarius. most have a suction disk like structure on their underside.

Yup, didn't see this thread. I agree with Cliff's diagnosis.
