Goonch (Bagarius sp. Indochina) growout- 3D the Defiler, Lord of Death
- Thread starter Chicxulub
- Start date
Since moving into my new house, I've had cost overruns that have prevented me from setting up my tanks, largely revolving around my desire to build them into the walls and not wanting to put tanks up on my ugly old stands.
That being said, all of the fish are (were) still in the same stock tank as before.
3d has killed them all, and eaten most of them. He's the only fish I have left. It's been a pretty major blow to me hobby wise.
3D himself is doing quite fine however. The steady diet of tank mates seem to have been quite good for him ?

Sucks to hear man, what had you been keeping with him?

How big is your guy now?
Dang, sorry to hear... think one of these is on my someday list...
Saw one of these with a group of dorado...
Nice fish! Sorry about your tank mates...

Balas, a fire eel, a Bagarius rutilus, some young polys, and a spiny eel.
Moving caused me to have to mix stuff that shouldn't be mixed when a filter gave up the ghost. 3D either ate or attempted to eat everyone.
Yes, yes he does lol. He's going to be getting a solo tank.
13" or so. I haven't put a tape on him, but he's big enough that he can't stretch out in the bottom of a bucket.
They're great fish! Just gotta be careful with tankmates ?
Nice write up Rob! I've always enjoyed you sharing your personal experiences with your fish. So the Indo is hyper predatory or does it seem like aggression? How's his activity level? Can't wait to hear more about the Defiler in the future.
I've got a Yarrelli myself currently, I love him. He's fairly sedentary only moving for the most part when he senses me near the tank. He sits under a decor piece made to resemble pipes with his head exposed facing the front glass. Occasionally he retreats to a more secluded spot but when he senses me touching the tank he moves back to the front to be fed. He's my third Yarrelli and he's at least 14" currently. My first was dispatched by some Pygo Denticulata the second by my Trachycorystes who as they've aged have become hyper predatory.

I somehow missed this, sorry Kolt lol
My indo is pretty outright aggressive, but I'm not sure if its territorial or predatory or a mix. He does NOT tolerate other bottom dwellers, but he'll take a swipe at anything mid or upper tier that gets close. Aside from this, he does his best impression of a rock like other goonch do. My current guy is about the same size as yours is. I enjoy him quite well.
I'd love to do a proper update, but he's still in the stock tank. I was ready to start building up my new tanks, but then the Rona hit and kicked all of my plans in the shins.
