Thanks for the pics. Amazing colouration

Could be a mistaken identity. Looks like a tor duronesis. Another kind of blue kelah definitely not tengas as the belly is white and with shorter snout and gill cover. Any other experts here to comment further?

but in fishbase duronesis only small fish...

I actually never believe what is written in some paper. What fishbase writte is what actualy was reported being caught. Never known what is actual size in nature. As I ever said to you, Hemibagrus wyckii max size according fishbase is 71 cm, but the one I suppose to send to you, which died before being shipped, had reached 90 cm up, could be 97 cm. Mine in the tank, has reaced, 75 cm and still growing. I was told by native borneon, he ever caught one that had 1 m up long.

I've seen larger specimens in Xian Leng before. Duronesis' key identifiable feature for large wild specimen (which should have deeper colouration easily) is a blue tinge at it's cheek area near the eye other than having bluer fins.

Somebody told me that they need to grow in a dark environment to show the blue tinge and colouration
