Hello! I purchased the below fish as a L11 thresher. I don't know if I'm looking at the right sp. here on planet catfish but here on PC the body is beige with dark spots whereas the below is kinda opposite but same body. Can you help? Thank you!

i have little knowledge on this i'm affraid. i did notice though that this guy has a pale, almost white belly where as the one Silurus linked to appears to have a dark belly.

i point this out only in the hope that it might help with the ID and not to contradict Silurus.

good luck with the ID

It could very well be that the fish's belly looks lighter because it was a close up with a flash, who knows.

It does look pretty much exactly the same even with the red tail fin. Now I just have to find info on it. Thank you!
