HILL STREAM CATFISH OF SARAWAK- Glyptothorax cf major
This species of small sized catfish mostly found in flowing stream of Batang Kayan and Sungai Sarawak. The photos below are taken by my friend in Singapore, Mr Choy who is also the web master of hexazona.com . The fish was a gift to Mr Choy from me when I was travelling in Singapore in October 2004.
Previously we wrongly identified this species as Glyptothorax fuscus which is from Mekong river basin (Indo-China), not Sarawak.
