Two new Mystus Cats ??

Post by Aqua_Bankie »

Picked up two new Mystus Cats , from a LFS yesterday , They are simply labelled Mystus Cats ,queried the dealer but they said they couldn’t tell what they are ,anyway got the last two and they look like two different species of Mystus from each other one has a Spot near its caudal fin ?

Here are the best pictures I can currently get of them ? I currently have a mystus mysticetus *(ID by Shane ,Thanks )

Any ideas ?
