Relevant Information:

There is not much information on the keeping of Cranoglanis species but they are predators so would need to take this into account if purchasing. Not seen very often in the hobby. Cranoglanis multiradiata possesses a thicker and shorter cleithrum than Cranoglanis bouderius and also has more branched rays in the anal fin (hence multiradiata) than the latter. 34-43 for C. multiradiata and 28-33 in C. bouderius. Remarks: Can still be found on some online sources as the junior synonym of Cranoglanis multiradiatus.
