I guess, for now, it all depends on which site you cite (pun intended).

It looks like BGG is taking a power-nooner. I'll post one since guppy found the common name and I found the generic name for the sturgeons.

Here you go:

I got this one, it was the first bagridea that showed up in my search, Black Nile catfish, aka Bayad, (Bagrus bajad) and I know that is the one because I found your picture on bcconline. I'll find a picture and be back.

hmm...pelligrini, I've received some under that name, but appeared to be more like the smaller species, like leptobotia rubrilabris, the elongata appears to have a larger mouth and longer head. The one you have pictured pelligrini is the same as the ones I received!

Here is a little guy, considered vulnerable but found in many scattered spots, it is only around 3-4" max. I just like the order and this is one of the very few freshwater members.
