Any ideas what fish this one is?



Catched near Sintang in Borneo. Propably a Mystus, but couldn't find a close match in literature, this one is so slender, very long barbels and adipose fin, and nice pinkish color...

Wow, that's fast! Didn't know that one also lives in Kapuas. Have another one wait i photoshop..

Didn't know that one also lives in Kapuas.

It's a fairly common species found widely throughout Southeast Asia.

A bit worse picture and not so exciting looking species.

Hemibagrus cf. nemurus
I use cf. because these things are a nightmare to identify accurately.

I find it a nightmare to identify them to a genus, i labeled this picture now "mystusmaybe". This is a bit over two years old picture, and in that time i have learned not to identify them even to a genus. Progress?
