Erethistes pusillus is a species of South Asian river catfish native to India, Bangladesh and Myanmar where it is mostly found in hill streams.[1] This species prefers muddy portions of rivers that are overgrown with vegetation. This species grows to a length of 4.2 centimetres (1.7 in) SL.[1] It is kept in tropical aquaria, but its occurrence in the aquarium trade is very rare.
