Another bumblebee mystery

Labelled as a bumblebee cat. Besides these crappy pictures of it in the bag I can tell you it is not Microglanis iheringi, or Pseudomystus
siamensis as I have both. Look somewhat like the Microglanis however have white spots all over the head portion and spines.

Hi,
Difficult to tell from the pictures. My guess is Batrochoglanis ranius.
Greetings,

Thanks Achim. You nailed it. Any idea how large they get?

According to fishbase approx. 20cm SL. Although i haven't seen such large specimens yet in Aquaria. But that might be because most ppl give them away when they start eating the other tank members ;) In any case watch out if you keep them with smaller tankmates like smaller characins or cyprinids.
