Is this a sun cat or a 2 spot cat?

Here are a couple pictures I thought they were mystus cats but were labeled sun cats at the petshop they are a good 4-5 inches long. Sorry for the crappy pictures as these fish are hard to take pictures of because they are so quick.
So are they either Horabagrus brachysoma or Mystus Bimaculatus
Thanks,

It definetly isn't Mystus bimaculatus, which are now rarer then hen's teeth. Probably H. brachysoma.

Definitely <i>Horabagrus brachysoma</i>. Sun cats are the name they are usually sold under.

Thats great so plan on sticking them in a 125 gallon in a few months or so? I see there adult size is 18 inches!!
Nice fish though first time I had ever seen them.

They are fairly common , now that large-scale commercial breeding of this species is being conducted. And cheap too.
