Liobagrus & Tachysurus ID's

Post by Stackdeck »

Got these two from a LFS in Japan, it's possible they could be local Both at about 5 inches, my guess is Liobagrus reini and Tachysurus aurantiacus/tokiensis? All opinions welcome, thanks in advance.

Many thanks Dr. HH. Would these photos be useful to the Cat-e-log?

I'm pretty sure Jools would agree - there is only one photo of
Liobagrus reinii
and the images of
Tachysurus tokiensis
are all of a preserved specimen.
See point 3 on the Contribute! page for more details.
