My new Chinese "Wels"

My comment was a general one, not against anyone specifically but what you've done, I'd do the same, Rodger

Well, this thread just ended. It is now in several pieces. I assume my cupuria is the guy, since he was the only fish capable of doing it. He was fun while he lasted!

Sucks, sorry to hear that

 

[thebiggerthebetter]

Sorry to hear. Much appreciate the follow through to the end. So rarely done here.

No problem, other than financial........ Wes still has one and I'm getting it. Just need to decide where it goes, so the thread will continue!

 

[thebiggerthebetter]

All right! Show will go on!

V 2 is coming next week. I am way pumped! Putting in a 40B until it is ready for the 240. I don't really care who it shreds there. (I'm a liar)

Got this guy from Wes Wong last week. Siluris meridionalis. He stays in this corner looking out the french doors most of the time. He currently eats scales and tails but mostly pellets.

If it is anything like my 5 Silurus asotus (thanks Wes!), it will be a while. I'd expect them to be similar - they are close by geographically too - Yanze (meridionalis) and Amur (asotus) rivers, both temperate, both grow to about the same max size of 3', look similar, very similar biology = biological niche, IIRC.

I got them last Aug 2015 at ~4"-5". Today they are ~8"-10".

Fast forward to 1:00 min if interested.

Nice! It does look very similar.
