or another Heptateridae.







Thanks in advance.

Hi there

It looks very similar but these fish are not my area of expertise - the eye looks higher on the head here, the dorsal dark patch seems very faint & the shoulder stripe seems indistinct - it may be stress, juvenille/regional patterning or a closely undescribed species or meesi but should undoubtedly be treated the same in respect of care - nice looking specimens you have there.

Anyone else got any views?

Yes, B. meesi.

Thanks a lot.

Richard B, the pics taken just arrive to home, with some stress.

Regards.

Given the excellent co-operation of catfish people on these forums, language should not be a barrier that cannot be overcome - best of luck with your new fish
