The obvious thing is the barbels are far too long to be Bagrichthys macropterus, which is a seldom if ever imported species.

Clearly a mystus species - i agree with Silurus

As far as diet, it really shouldn't be fussy, but is a small predatory fish so frozen livefoods, small earthworms, river shrimps are a great food to supplement basic foodsticks, pellets etc

Thank's for the info will try some of these
