Did you know fantastic help is an anagram of Planet Catfish? This forum is for those of you with pictures of your catfish who are looking for help identifying them. There are many here to help and a firm ID is the first step towards keeping your catfish in the best conditions.
. Is it just a large P.siamensis, or something else?
FYI I have received an OK for me to use the above picture from it's owner, as the fish is not mine.

It should also be worth noting here that the sizes in the Cat-eLog is the "best of our knowledge". If you take a sample of thirty humans, it's unlikely that you'll find someone who is much over 6'6" (2m), but go to a (high level) basketball game, and I'd say you probably find a couple of 7' players. So if you can correctly identify and measure the fish, I'd be happy to update the data in the Cat-eLog based on that measurement.
This is a nice fish ! though i'd say P.Siamensis is at least seven maybe eight inches standard length, they are quite variable too , some are very colourful and remain so as adults wheras some appear quite dull !

Any documented [photo next to a ruler/tape-measure for example] evidence of such would be taken into account for updating the Cat-eLog.
