current Heptapteridae confirmation

Post by dmcat »

Currently I have these Pimelodella gracilis and Myoglanis koepckei. I guess identification of these cats would be hard, if at all possible, by pictures. But would appreciate any comments.
Thanks ahead,
DM

I would think the Pimelodella is one of the deeper-bodied species (lateristriga?) rather than gracilis. Myoglanis looks about right.

Thanks, Silurus! Yes, my Pimelodella look more like P. lateristriga based on pictures. That's great!
