Same thing happened to me...I bought one thinking it was a real goonch.timmycat;3851758;3851758 said:
They are still neat catfish though! Don't condemn them to a piranha death quite yet!
I assume yall were victim to TFD on aquabid...I've mentioned to them before that they aren't even a bagarius species at all...they just replied with "my importer said they were" and asked me for an ID
That's exactly what happened to me! I got a nice juvenile aba aba from them though.amazonfishman;3855120;3855120 said:
I just didn't get goonched. I was able to get a beautiful true Bagarius yarrelli (although it MIGHT be Bagarius suchus) from All-Happy on this site!
If you were anywhere near me I'd take em off your hands. I like small cats and the fact that they look goonch-esque is pretty cool. It does really suck that you were misled though.
Please don't dispose of these. They're great fish, and 100000X more capable of being cared for / housed properly by the vast majority of fish keepers than the goonch. Stinks you didn't get what you want, but do not blame / condemn the fish for that.
