B. yarrelli growth rate?
- Thread starter Superlaz
- Start date
I've never owned one, let alone seen one in person, but I'm guessing they grow very fast, like most large catfish.
they grow relatively quickly in the right conditions I've briefly owned one in the past and am looking for more

By tankmates do you mean food? They have big mouths and an endless appetite. About the only thing you can keep with them is another goonch.
From keepers ive spoken too...as long as their tankmates are relatively larger, they pose no threat. They keep to themselves, and primarily will only move around for food. My question though, is at what rate should I expect their growth...get a better idea what I can house with one 
DonH has the largest one I know of. Don't think he frequents this site though. I'm sure if you contacted him he could give you more info. I think his is over the 3 foot mark, and got there pretty quick.
Tough to find tankmates for since they require cold water.

Lot of colorful tankmates
they might get eaten...
but they are easily to replace and its dirt cheap
Sturgeon, Rainbow Trout, Large Mouth Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, Channel Catfish, Paddlefish and the list goes on
