Does Anyone Know The Common Name?

[mrsbarx]

I have recently purchased what I believe to be a "Mystus Scopoli" but I'm having trouble finding anything about this particular catfish and it's common name. Any help would be useful.

Correction. It looks like it's a Mystus mysticetus

I believe it is a larger cold water species of cat fish. I don't think I've heard a common name for it other than just striped catfish. That's probably what you already know about them though. I am not sure they are commonly kept but I could be wrong. Where did you pick it up at?

I got him at Wal-Mart. They were supposedly Pictus Catfish but obviously they weren't. So I figured, I would try something different.

I see you put a correction as to species. Though it does look about the same to me.

Looks very similar to M tengara, that goes by the name Pyjama catfish.
