Anyone own one of this BIG HEAD DUDES??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
an ugly beuti 4 sure!
 
Aren't they sometimes called Trachy Trachy, short for Trachystonostomus Trachystonostomus or something like that? I'm way off, I forget..

They also come from South America? I think I can import those.. if anyone is interested.

The reason they are so expensive is because of their large size, they need large boxes and alot of water weight comes with full-bodied fish. A single one of these is probably more expensive to import than a single large stingray.
 
i want one... goupler mouth cat
 
Kinda looks like a mouth that has a fish attachted to it. Almost pac man like.

Ive seen that cat in japanese magazines.

Yeah..they puff up alright....and i my books..they are the most interactive catfish ever!! the come swimming to the surface with the mouth wide open and u just drop the feeder in....pretty much like u feed dolphins or killer wales in Sea World...
