Anyone out there keeping piebald, mottled, or just plain, giant monster-sized Clarias Batrachus (aka Walking/ Feeder Catfish) specimens?

Ive been rearing one for 6 or 7 years .. eats just about anything u put into the tank. Very hardy fish i must say.. on 2 saparate occasions it jumped out of the tank in the night and i found it quite dried up in the morning. I thought it was dead and was going to pick him up to throw away when it moved. I quickly put him back into his tank and he recovered in just a week.
In Moscow ***s from Vjetnam buyig thausands of clarias batrachus and from one inch to 40cm feed them just in 4 months
