Just saw the thread on Asian RTC. In your opinion, what are the top five meanest nastiest catfish swimming? I think my top five are-

#1- Crystal Eye or Black Devil Catfish(M.wyckii)
#2 Asian Redtail Catfish
#3- North American Flathead Catfish
#4- Walking Catfish (Clarias, spelling is off the top of my head)
#5- Wallago attu (Tahpah aka Killer Catfish)~Not terribly mean, IMO.

I think the top three could be rearranged completely,depending on the individual fishes personality. Just my opinion. Thanks

I crash at the K-Pg
1- H. wyckii
2- H. wyckioides
3- Z. zungaro
4- P. olivaris
5- A toss up among several.

The first four are easy, but at #5 there are a bunch of contenders that depend on personality; including goonches, several Brachys, several sheetfish, etc.

From the number of catfishes I've kept the most aggressive has to be my bagarius suchus... Mine is only 8inch at the moment but it has a super nasty attitude

Lol, when I kept cichlids with my bullhead he'd often go up to the cichlids and yawn in their faces.

Meanest I've had was a big clarius had to get rid of him in the end because it would terrorise my other cats and birchir
