Blue mystus cat

[Bercume3]

I picked this guy up labeled as a blue mystus cat but can't seem to find any information or adult pictures. Does anyone keep them, know how big they get, or know anything about them? Sorry for the terrible picture.

Possibly Mystus tengara http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=326

Definitely a Mystus. If not tengara, look through others to see which ones look the closest: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/genus.php?genus_id=14#326

Also pay attention to how many pictures there are for each species (it is easier to scan for the pic number in this list, scroll down to Mystus http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/family.php?family_id=8 ). I'd only be concerned with the species with the most pictures, if there is none or 1-2 pics, that most usually means they are very rare and chances are you'd never get them.

Thanks for the help, it definitely is the tengara. Wish it
was a species that got a little bigger.

Not many pics of it on PCF. You could help, time and will allowing.

3" max is standard length (SL), i.e., without the tail fin altogether.

Good pictures of it tonight. It is very skittish and likes to hide.
