Goonch at Fish Story

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Seems to be significantly filled-in compared to a couple weeks ago. Nice!
 
Tried posting a link for the record blue catfish, one was just caught, over 100 lbs. I believe the record is over 120 lbs. largest catfish in the world next to the wels. They are common all over America, mostly in rivers. You should add one of these to your collection of monster cats.
 
He doesnt look that skinny anymore also he got his colors back. Its safe to say its a Lica. He will be fine at 84F. If the other fish will compete for the hideout and the goonch is feeding regardless without a hideout i would leave it as it is. i had the same feeding "issues" with some of my goonch sometimes they eat sometimes not. Feeding behavior seems to vary from individual fish not much from species. Below is my Rutilus, he is the complete opposite while feeding.
You can also see their huge mouth at 4:26 in the longer video. Sometimes he eat right away and sometimes he takes a few minutes.
