Sorry Vincent, I was talking about the greenerinks fish, not yours ... Yours is def B.vailantii ...michel janio li these are 18 inch fish.. I don't think my cats are Propimelodus
I have an alleged B. Vaillantii that looks almost identical to the one in the video as well. This is the reason I am so confused. These 'B. Vaillantii' have a much more compact body compared to my two new pickups. I give up with the ID thingy haha.My guy.
-- Alleged Brachyplatystoma vaillantii ~8", from Wesley Wong of Rare Fish, Los Angeles, CA;
-- wild caught by Wes' fisherman in Suriname;
-- unsure of the species ID, might be something else;
-- prefers cheap catfish farm pellets to silversides, etc.
-- bosses over slobbering catfish and capapretum in the same tank - never a mark on him but often on these guys.
What are thoughts on the ID?
