It must be the angle the pic is taken at as i wouldn't have considered H.NemerusSilurus wrote:
The head doesn't look flat enough & the body seems quite short & rotund compared to the small(er) specimens of H Nemerus i've seen - i presume this one is somewhere around the 10-14" TL mark

Look at the length of the maxillary barbel and tell me if you think it's still A. maculatus.
I'm not trying to identify effing loricariids here.

Sorry not meaning to disagree with you...& i was only suggesting something like an Ariid - indeed the maxillarys are a key ID point here...Re: Thai Catfish (Bagridae?)
