Bagarius yarrelli help... PLEASE

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Try putting shrimp on a Tong or stick and put it near his mouth-might work. Years ago I had a Juruense that did the same thing-so I literally placed the shrimp right in front of his face and he ate-after a week or so it got to the point where I no longer had to do that.
 
remember keep the temps down and the current high and it will be a happy fish....... if they feel like another fish is a threat they will react by shredding the fish.........

No way!!! Heard of a guy who had a Black Goliath Wolf Fish-Hoplias spec. and it was claimed that when he would clean his tank he would wear chain mail on his hands?

That's awesome! Sounds like a good idea though. I don't think I'd want to reach in that tank with bare hands either... :/ LOL
 
oh man i cnt wait to get ahold of one of these fish
 
thats not a bagarius yarelli, its a glyptothorax sp. that look like bagarius but only grow a few inches. there was a thread a while ago that was about this. But who knows they could be actual bagarius but the picture on aquabid is a glyptothorax
 
i had problems feeding my yarelli too last time , just keep trying with the tank lights off , and do a number check on your live feeders
