19inch goonch catfish

[wednesday13]

Question to other large goonch owners: Have you ever had any experience with your goonch being aggressive? Now that mine is settled in this aquarium he seems to becoming more aggressive. This morning he had a Polypterus in his mouth luckily I pulled it out of his mouth and the poly was fine. He also sometimes bullies my Wallago and hoplias curupira.

Had a 18"er eat a 12"er like a snack, only saw it in his belly...they lived together from 3-4"...both B. Bagarius. U should have let him eat the poly

Update: The goonch has probably only grown another 1" since I last posted in this thread. Still feeding great and even feeds from hand now!

the goonch hasn't eaten for a week now... i dunno to be worried or to be patient

Be patient man. He's probably just on a hunger strike
