Hi,

This little one came in as a hitchhiker in a shipment of freshwater fish for an independent aquarium store. Can anyone help me ID it? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the poor photo quality. It's the best I could do. The fish is overall a dull pale grey with long barbels and a single black lateral stripe on either side.

If it came in with wild-caught Corydoras, could it be a Brachyrhamdia species? Maybe

This looks more like to me.

And in my opinion it is Mystus. More precisely Mystus malabaricus. The bent dark belt is attesting to it above a pectoral fin and the triangular stain on the caudal hard core, apart from that fits the face.

Can't be mystus as it only has 6 barbels - Brachyrhamdia for sure - I thought meesi maybe?

Actually my mistake not noticed two barbels.

I think B. marthae.

Thank you all for the replies! Looking at pictures, Brachyrhamdia marthae seems to be the closest match.
