Please help identify what was brought as a Borneo Catfish?

Post by rossandrews »

Hi

I brought this fish from Maidenhead aquatics in Oxford and it was described as a Borneo Catfish, this however doesnt bring up anything on google, It has to be a mystus fish I just can decide which one. He is curently around 5.5" long. The pictures make him look darker than he really is.

any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ross

Major: Now what's this... stone, stone, stone, (looks down at his hand) and scissors. Now. Scissors cut everything, don't they?
Sergeant: Not stone, sir.
Major: They're very good scissors!!

Looks very similar, I saw that one earlier and thought it might be the one, quite excited at the idea that I might need a bigger tank :d

The Catelog says it can be a bit territorial. So planning tank mates accordingly is best.
