That's a very nice Hemibagrus maydelli you have there (first picture). I assume that's H. maydelli (from the Krishna River drainage), because I don't see the row of spots associated with either H. punctatus or H. menoda.

Actually! I was thinking it was Aorichthys seenghala (Giant River Catfish)

Snout and adipose fin are too short to be Sperata (former Aorichthys). Definitely a Hemibagrus.

That is not the first picture of Hemibagrus maydelli or formerly known as Mystus krishnensis (Ramakrishniah) 1987. Some years back a the first color photograph was published in the ZSI publication, Faunal Resources of the Krishna River system, a work of many authors on many diverse topic related to aquatic fauna.

Sid,
You should have joined us in India. Andrew had a tankful of baby (about 1.5") Chacas just ripe for the taking.

Don't think for one second I wouldn't want that!!!!!!
BUT my holidays are "fixed"; it comes with the job.
I have plenty free-time days/weeks, but they're all fixed, I simply cannot leave for a longer period; except in second-half of July and august.
And there's a money-issue as well......airfares are expensive; for my next travelling (australia, this summer) I scraped money for three years.
