Mystus leucophasis, known for swimming in an inverted position, is an intriguing species ideal for intermediate to advanced aquarists. They are nocturnal and prefer plenty of hiding spots provided by driftwood, rocks, or aquatic plants. Although typically peaceful, they can be territorial with other bottom dwellers. Due to their size, they require a sizable tank with efficient filtration.
