hey Wes thought i'd give you an update on the goonch you sold me a few months ago. They've probably more than doubled in size and are fat and happy as can be. They're eating a mix of pellets prawns and rosey's in a month they should be moving out of the breeder tank and into the 245 with the rest of the monsters. I have encountered one problem however, I think one of the fish may be a bagarius suchus, not a yarelli. I could be wrong but even if it is a suchus it's still an amazing fish! Also when are you going to get another fish shipment in or an updated stock list? i've been trying to find a jau catfish and a piraiba for quite a while now.
 
that's not possible, as suchus is not found in India, I wish I still had some suchus, as they're hard to come by again. What makes you think that its a suchus? The suchus that i've had in the past are very flat, almost like a flounder...love to see some pictures.
 
oh okay I had a feeling I was probably wrong :/. The main differences I've noticed are the eyes fin shape and color. I guess one may be male and the other female. I'll take some updated pictures and upload them soon.
 
there are some variations among the b. yarelli, and color from greenish to yellowish. but mostly the body shapes should be similar. Suchus look almost like a squar head from above, whereas the yarelli have a pointier face, more aggressive look. will wait for your picture. I think from now on, I will start running a customer loyalty program, as customers take good care of their fish, and post pictures under my threads updating the pictures I'll give them preferential treatments and discounts on their future orders. After all, seeing updates will reinforce in my mind who these loyal customers are and the progress of their fish!
