ID my pimelodid

Post by Sandtiger »

Hi everyone, I was wondering what species of pimelodid I have here, I bought two individuals sold as "white line pimelodids" but am not certain as to the exact species. Are they blochii, albofasciatus or something else?

I would suggest also have a look at
Pimelodus tetramerus


Keep in mind this is also a genus that is still missing many species in the Cat-eLog and I think will eventually end up much larger in numbers.
