Interests: The "passion" for fish has subsided somewhat the last couple years, only currently keeping two corys and what might be an LDA-33, as catfish goes.

Just a half-qualified guess really, some Hypotopoma sp.?

Sure looks like Hypoptopoma sp, but I never saw one that wasn't olivegreen or close to it....is that color natural, or is it a dead one straight from the formalin?

The color is natural and the fish is alive. Taken up from the river maybe 20 seconds prior to being photografed.
