[GaViN]

i have seen in a local fish shop an HEMIBAGRUS WYCKII (albino) around 5cm, i have looked up on google and have not had much luck finding any pics!

could anyone who has one post a few pics for me

also any thoughts on being able to keep one with a giant gourami?

mamy thanks

Never heard of an albino wyckii unless its an albino asian redtail

They are a very agressive species that kill tankmates, they have to be kept solitary

Yeh seen this myself (Trimar if i remember rightly) thought it would be a Artc too.

Sure it's not Hemibagrus nemurus?

As it matures in size, either nemurus or wyckii will try to kill the gourami.

Albino ARTC, he may turn nasty when he gets a little bigger.

Looks like H nemurus, as they get the dorsal extensions as they mature.

Yeah he has bite little chunk's of skin from the giraffe cat before.

so this is a fish best kept on its own!

i would like a "normal wyckii" but i dont tend to see them about !

is the albino found in the wild?

Albinos are bred fish. They cannot find albinos in these numbers in the wild. But specifically they do find albinos in the wild, and albinoism can accur in any species of animal. These however are farm bred for this, and are nemurus. I have yet to see any other artc in albino form. I think they grow to just over 2'.
