Experience with Asian Redtail (h.nemurus)?

[rumblesushi]

I saw one today for £10, about 3 inches.

If you've kept one please tell me about your experience with them. How aggressive are they? At what size do they become aggressive?

HOw do you think it would do with a jardini, red snakehead, peacock bass and clarias catfish? They are all bigger than the nemurus.

Cheers,
JR

I have never kept one, but that is because this fish is extremely aggresive. There a pretty fish though.

they can get a bit nuts and are very aggressive.
£10 for a 3''er is an ok price i was selling them for £7 6 months ago.

dixon, being that it's with 4 beasts who all grow at least as big and have a head start, do you think it's unlikely this catfish could hurt/kill the micropeltes, jardini, pbass and clarias?

I don't know just how killer they are

 

[Heppy]

it will kill the clarius

 

[rumblesushi]

really heppy? Clarias are meant to be badass, and killers themselves.

Other than being aggressive are they good aquarium fish? Hungry, active etc?

I dunno man...I had a redline bite the tail off my hybrid catfish (tsnxrtc). I was thinking of getting a 4incher numerus, but "clare" said it's attitude is twice as bad as the H. Wyckii. I am not going to get my other fishies get killed. What good is a fish if it is or can only be kept solo?? and hides all the time!!! Not fair for me...eh? waste of cash?
