Came in as Bagarius yarrelli from Thailand

I got 30 of these in this weekend from Thailand as Bagarius yarrelli. They are definitely not the same fish I've gotten before. I'm sure the others were B. yarrelli but am not sure what this species is. It may be B. bagarius but it's difficult to find juvenile pics to compare. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on what these might be.
Thanks,
Mark

These look like
Glyptothorax callopterus (partly in the Cat-eLog as
) to me.

That's a possibility. The pics of that species seem to show two different species to me. The first one is more slender. The one thing that doesn't jive is the maximum size, which is listed as 2.4". These fish are 3-4.5" in length.

Definately Glyptothorax - there are quite a few though & Silurus is rarely off the mark. It would of course be conceiveable that if you imported 30 there may be more than a single species in the group - a beautiful fish! Pity you are so far away.....

a far better choice for any tank than Bagarius......
these are well behaved and they don't grow to monstersize.
