While I donĀ“t know much about the Mystus, I would not combine Pseudogastromyzon (from extremely rapid waters) with Pangio, from shallow, almost stagnant waters.

Apart from current, end thus oxygen content also the optimal temerature is different, as P comes from higher up in the mountains

I filter 5 times the volume of the aquarium and will increase to 10 times. Pangio do not seem to be hampered by the current which is locally blocked by the pebbles.
