PIMELODUS CELESTIS (Jumper catfish) ?

[thebiggerthebetter]

Second thoughts Viktor the fish I have pictured seems to have a different shaped adipose...
If that's the actual fish and not a generic pic.

Well, that's in part what I meant by one photo where the fish is turning a bit too.

That might be a good observation. If you aim to get technical, run through all species of Exallodontus, Iheringichthys, Propimelodus, Pimelodus, Pinirampus, and Pimelodella for starters and see if you find only 10-20 matches and we'll go from there

Seriously though, it seems fish like these are very hard to ID to us hobbyists. Still, it'd be impressive to even try. I just have no time, nor motivation. Sorry.

I checked yesterday, nothing in propimelodus, pimelodus, pinirampus, and pimelodella.

Rodrigo (predatory fins) description on size

"16" cool fish with a silver color"

That's the issue, could be 16" could be 6" .... Bit of a gamble.

P.s just picked up a 4" bufonis

Looks like in the picture but with different color. Does propimelodus sp have color variation like mystus sp?

So a 6' fish should be fine in a 125 right ?

 

[justarn]
