African Forktail Catfish - Bagrus docmac

[cr8on]

Has anyone had experience with African Forktail Catfish? A couple have come up for sale locally, and they look kind of interesting.

Try looking for it under Semutundu

Think ive seen Clarotes laticeps being sold under this name though (fork tail)

Cheers. I found way more information looking under Semutundu.

post up tons of info and pics if you get one. Have always wanted one myself, but have never seen them for sale.

I'm really keen to get one, there are greys and albinos available, not sure how a 15cm one would go with my fish, which are:

-a 6cm Giant Gourami
-a 13cm Ompok bimaculatus
-a 14cm Senegal Bichir

The Bagrus docmac are $150 each, which may sound expensive, but for most oddball catfish over here in Australia, like RTC and TSN, you would be starting at about $600 and up.

I'd pay that for bagrus, never seen one for sale, but have always wanted one. They get big and are fattys.

I'm seriously considering getting one, do you reckon that a 15cm one would be cool with my current fish?
