just interested in you saying your hybrid grows slow i have heard they grow 1-2 inches a month with clean water and fully fed. just wondering if yours if a short body or stunted or something

lol i have thought that to but he shows no deformitys and eats like a pig lol i think it might be a dworf of a sort

that would be an awesome fish in my opinion then wont get 5' like all the others lol it stays at a manageable size

Got my W. Attu around 6" eight months ago he's about 21-22" now. Its not aggressive in the sense he just terrorizes anything. Its a predator capable of eating any fish he could fit in his mouth. But mine as it got bigger seems to really like to eat pellets. I keep him with lots of other fish in a community setting. Doesn't bother anyone. You can see him in some videos below in my sig.

Your RTCxTSN is the first one I've heard of that grows so slowly while in very good care... knowing your experience and knowledge from other posts and vids, etc. I wonder if this is an extreme rarity or if there are others like that in good water, well fed, large enough tanks.

About the same here on my W. leerii, except mine is extremely shy/reclusive and hard to feed (won't take food in my presence).

LOL what are you feeding him tropical fish flakes? lol he should be 24" or so by now?
But yes the Wallago Attu are very cool catfish, however be carefull as they can be VERY aggressive, My mate had one that would ri[ the belly from any mid swimming fish he put in the tank.
