Mystus gulio, the Long Whiskers Catfish, is a species of catfish of the family Bagridae. The generic name is probably derived from the Latin "mystax", meaning "moustache", due to the long barbels.
It is found in India , Sri Lanka, Pakistan , Nepal and Vietnam.[2] It is primarily a brackish water fish that enters and lives in fresh water.[3]
The population is known to be decreasing in recent past, due to catching, pet trading and habitat destruction.[4]
