Finally Got A Photo Of Bob! Added - Another, Decent, Photo!

[nurglespuss]

The big fella (eating here) actually comes out to watch TV with us in the evenings now

Good news is, he hasnt killed the ridiculously expensive Banjo (Peach) yet, and he's buried quite close to Bobs cave

I reckon perhaps 2 more catfish and that tank is full full full, or maybe just one more....

An upper water one perhaps? as I decided the Bristlenose I had in mind and Bob would most probably fight...

Update: Well still on Peach watch, but here is Bob! (second pic better?)

Blimy he has got some girth on him. What species is he?

 

[nurglespuss]

Acording to Dr. David Sands: Asian Bumblebee Catfish (Leiocassis siamensis)

Aren't they Pseudomystus siamensis now? I could well be wrong though. I have two about 5-6" long each, nice fish.

Aren't they Pseudomystus siamensis now?

yes they are.
they were reclassified by Kottelat in 1998 in the paper Fishes of the Nam Theun and Xe Bangfai basins, Laos, with diagnoses of twenty-two new species (Teleostei: Cyprinidae, Balitoridae, Cobitidae, Coiidae and Odontobutidae). Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwat. 9(1):1-128. Page: 101

nice little fish, hope to see a clearer pic of it soon.
