Anybody have pictures of live specimens?
Is this just a Gagata or maybe even the Gogangra..?

That silvery mark above(?) opercle does not stand out so well in the picture, or does it..? Which of those other identification features can be seen easily in live fish? Meaning: how can i safely tell Gogangra apart from all Gagata?

You should be able to tell by head shapes. Gogangra have broader, flatter heads than Gagata (which have narrow, compressed heads).
The pupil on Gogangra is also smaller than in Gagata.
