Re: Maybe new Myersglanis
Looks like the fish in the picture has a truncate caudal??? I thought Myersglanis have a forked caudal.

Sergeant: Not stone, sir.
Major: They're very good scissors!!

Re: Maybe new Myersglanis
Heiko's identification of Asian cats sucks big time (I still remember his identification of Helicophagus leptorhynchus as a new species of Pangasius in one of his magazines).
That's not Myersglanis, but most likely Glyptosternon reticulatum. Compare with the photo of a fish caught in the upper Indus River drainage (photo courtesy of the Swedish Museum of Natural History):

Re: Maybe new Myersglanis
Some Oreoglanis have truncate caudal fins, as do Euchiloglanis and most Pareuchiloglanis and Creteuchiloglanis.
