Do wallago catfish make good pets?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Didnt everyone on the last thread just suggest not thinking about monster fish while the only tank you have is a 30g with no finite plans to upgrade and you agreed with them
 
i believe many wallago were re-classified as ompok and some of these only stay quite small. The only wallago now is attu which grow to real monster fish size and need to be kept with other giants.I
Some of the ompok may be suitable if they can be sourced.
As for good pets, that depends if you want a true interactive pet, if so get a puffer or a tank suitable for a hemibagrus.
 
I cant use my 30 gallon any more my mom is going you use it as a salt waster aquarium so now its actually confirmed that im going to get the pond because deal i had with was that she gets aquarium if i get the pond also already almost everything to make pond anyway

So what fish can house in 2000 gallons??? Also which species of wallago can live with other fish in there???

In my experience with wallago leeri and attu, they do okay with any fish that they cannot fit in their mouths. My attu is still small though (18") so there is no telling how his behavior might change as he grows.
Oh okay and where did you get your attu???

Also i had my on this wallago from aqua imports 8010FC60-3295-498D-9409-107422BAD026.jpeg
So what do you say about this species too also
