IMG_8334-0CC(W) Baby Forest Catfish (Clarias leiacanthus)-Bleeker, 1851
Location: Peninsular Malaysia
This fish was shot in water that is full of debris and sludge, it took me almost an hour to photoshop some of the dirt out. Sigh!!!!
Differences between almost similar cat fish:
(i) Keli Dacing (more stocky & shorter), dorsal fin do not extend (bersambung) with caudal fin while
(ii) Keli Limbat (Clarias nieuhofii ) has yellowish and longer body. It has a few color variants i.e., light brown, orange and yellow. Dorsal fin is extended (bersambung) with caudal fin.
