Does anyone here actually have a large Asian RTC?

[jprp]

There are two ARTC's - Hemibagrus wyckioides and H. nemurus.
According to planet-catfish they will both kill every fish in their tank, and some people call H. wyckioides "the most aggressive fish in the world".

I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT MYSTUS NEMURUS IS THE OLDER NAME RECLASSIFIED INTO HEMIABAGRUS-BUT BOTH THIS AND WIKII (NOT A RED TAIL AND BULKIER BODY SHAPE) ARE ONE TO A TANK FISH.

Hemibagrus wyckioides is not H. wyckii. Nor is it H. nemurus. They are 3 distinct fish that all used to be Mystus.

I WAS TRYING TO SAY MYSTUS NEMURUS=WYCKIOIDES BUT THAT WYCHII IS ALSO ONE TO A TANK-THANKS FOR THE SPELLING I CANT SPELL IN ENGLISH NEVERMIND LATIN.

JUST BEEN ON PLANET CATFISH AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS UNDER "NEMURUS" BUT IF YOU LOOK IN ANY BOOK INCLUDING BURGESS ATLAS YOU WILL FIND A PICTURE OF WHAT IS NOW BEING CALLED WYCHIODES BUT NAMED AS NEMURUS-CONSTANT NAME CHANGES CAUSE MUCH CONFUSION IN THE HOBBY-I WOULD PREFER TO DEPEND ON BOOKS FOR INFO OVER A NET LIST AS A RULE BUT IN TERMS OF BEING UPTO DATE I SUPPOSE PCF WINS OUT -I WOULD STILL LIKE MORE INFO ON PCF`S NEMURUS AS IT LOOKS LIKE AN ALBINO WYCKIODES.

M nemurus is now classified as H wychioides (artail)
M wyckii is now H wyckii (chrystal eye)
both will be found in books and on many web sites under the older name.

but can you fill in the blank for me/us? What was the fish now classified as H nemurus (no red tail and lots of pics appear albino) formally known as ?????
