Apurensis catfish ... anyone keeping one of this??

[naser90096]

This is my 13.5" apurensis catfish. got it last year when it was abt 7-8". mainly fed on market prawns & occasionally on feeders (goldfishes). Recently it ate my sailfin pleco of 7" ..

So, does anyone else have 1 of this cat..??

below are the pics ...

This pics were taken when it swallowed the sailfin pleco ..

yup, the pleco didn't last 2 min in the tank ... last week, it swallowed another piece, but this time the pleco locked his pectorals, the apu then regurgitate it out again after swallowing ... now seems that the apu keeps his distance from all plecos ...

Passed up the oppertunity for one love them though like alot of the members of this family they can and WILL eat HUGE fish compared to there size as you can see with the pleco but that would only be a worm up it could eat much bigger fis
