A certain roving Planet contributor found this article in a local Indian newspaper called the Pune Mirror. No guesses what well known catfish website they used while researching the piece...
It appears the Planet Catfish is !

Re: Small Planet: Pune Mirror
Huh??
"Two other species Planet Catfish (mystus malabaricus) and Butter Catfish (ompok bimaculatus) were also found to be near threatened as per the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). "
Is it a typo, letter switch? Does the word "planet" sound like any common names for the fish coupled with the word "catfish"?

Re: Small Planet: Pune Mirror
I think that they mistook the title of a page they were using for research for the common name, or something along those lines.
It would be fun if the name actually stuck - and would, one day, have to be added as a common name in the Cat-eLog!
