Got these guys from blue grass aquatics. Came in quick for delivery and well packed. These are in qt. Gonna do or atleast attempt a blackwater tank for these catfish. Hope to get a few more if available and try to keep these guys long term. Gonna pray I can wean off of live food.

Haven't seen one of those since the 90's one of my favorites also.

I hope you find some at a reasonable price.
You and me both. They certainly deserve to be called monstrous, size difference aside it makes other catfish like the Goonch look like a cute cousin. Might turn out to be the perfect tankmates for my Channa bankanensis, as I've realized I should probably set up a low PH tank for them some time in a not too distant future.

Wow now that's a seriously interesting fish, new species to me. More pictures please! :D
This is my ghetto tote tank for them. The water isn't deep at all. The water is murky cause I'm putting some tanins in it. Will slowly update.

They are available seasonally in the US. I bought them all from blue grass.

They weren't too bad including shipping. Total was $150 and that includes shipping.
