What is mystus leucophasis?

Mystus leucophasis, commonly known as the white-fin mystus, is a freshwater catfish species found in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Thailand. This species can grow up to 20 centimeters in length and usually inhabits rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes with slow to moderate water flow. The white-fin mystus is omnivorous and feeds on small aquatic animals, insects, and algae. It has a silver-gray body with black spots and a white belly, and its fins are generally white or pale in color. The white-fin mystus is commonly kept in aquariums and is considered a popular and hardy species among fish hobbyists. However, overfishing and habitat loss pose a threat to its populations in the wild.
