Hi.
Really tough to see it against the dark gravel, is the fish yours or seen in a LFS? If in a LFS, what's it listed as? Any chance of more photos, but close up, or against a different background?
Thanks
Martin

Looks like a juvenile SE Asian bagrid?

Major: Now what's this... stone, stone, stone, (looks down at his hand) and scissors. Now. Scissors cut everything, don't they?
Sergeant: Not stone, sir.
Major: They're very good scissors!!

We recently got about a dozen fish that look similar to this at my LFS, labelled as "Asian Red Tail Catfish" but they are this colour, leading me to believe they are actually
Hemibagrus wyckii
.

I do not know if this fish is, however, as the forehead seems too elevated and I have not seen transparent fins on wyckii before - though I have never seen one this size.

Maybe @Silurus can help out.
