Diagnostic Description
provided by Fishbase
Body elongate and slightly compressed. Maxillary barbels extending beyond the pelvic fins, often to the end of the anal fin. Dorsal spine weak, finely serrated on its inner edge. Adipose fin small, inserted much behind rayed dorsal fin but anterior to the anal fin. Color in life varies with age; generally delicate gray-silvery to shining golden, with several (about 5) pale blue or dark brown to deep black longitudinal on side. A narrow dusky spot often present on the shoulder. The fins glass, with dark tips (Ref. 4792).

Mystus vittatus
provided by wikipedia EN
Mystus vittatus, the striped dwarf catfish, is a species of catfish of the family Bagridae.[3] It is found in brackish water systems with marginal vegetation in lakes and swamps with a mud substrate of Asian countries Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and probably Myanmar. Populations of Southeast Asian countries is in debate, due to close morphological similarities among Mystus species in that region.[3]
It grows to a length of 21 cm in maximum.[3] The population is known to be decreasing in recent past, due to catching, pet trading and habitat destruction.[1] In reproduction, they are known to makes sounds during spawning.[3]
