what marbled pimelodid is this?

Post by jamey1976 »

I bought a "marbled catfish" recently. I can't tell if it is a leiarius pictus/marmoratus or if it is a perunicthys perruno. It seems to have a sailfin like the L.pictus, but not a big enough one. It's dorsal fin is arching and rounded and has about 12 or 14 rays. It is not spotted but "marbled". It's underbelly is very dark. My marbled catfish is about 7 inches. What species is this?
