coelacanth Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 mekong catfish, check this link out http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8404622 it isn't a Mekong catfish, you only need to look at (for instance) the tail and the lack of a dorsal fin to see that. I've seen several identities proposed for this fish but it looks most likely to be a wels (judging from the European-looking landscape) although some sites say the photo was taken in Thailand or some other southeast Asian country.

Afrikan Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Yeah it's not a Mekong cat, the following link is Mekong, and there are a range of photos to flick through of things that come from the river... check out the giant ray!!!!! If you look, the eyes and mouth are way different also. The Mekong's eyes sit very low down, almost near the jawline. I remember seeing the article online about the photo of the cat that the two guys are holding, can't recall the species they said it was. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/11/photogalleries/giantcatfish/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I googled them & what I saw didn't look like the first pic either but like the one you posted Afrikan. Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Visser Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 This is a Vundu (Heterobranchus longifilis), they are normally big but not as big as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 So would you need a white wine to complement the flavours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 This is a Vundu (Heterobranchus longifilis), they are normally big but not as big as this. do you have a source for that ID? If it is H. longifilis then it does not look typical. H. longifilis grows to 5ft and is rather elongated. It has prominant double dorsal fins and several pairs of long obvious barbels. The head looks the wrong shape too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
