id please!!! wallagu?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
nope they not true wallago... they are sheath fish or vampire catfish common names, still uncertain as to exact id... they are definitely from Borneo, seems they probably only get 2'-2.5' absolute max? but cant really be sure... and no one seems tohave any insight into there personallity witch is a lil conserning...it would either go with a payara or in the big com, but you you risk putting that in with other prized fish..... see if only i had a spare tank.....
 
100% sheath catfish. and I would not mixed him with those cichlid...not good idea.

Thats really wierd! I was in there today, saw them and decided to search on here to find out about them! Did you see the paradise threadfin and they also have some small white snakeheads with a peturbing name? Eitherway they do get some decent oddballs in.
 
Get it!!!! Silurid cats own!

it would have to go in with gulper, rtg, sp gar, redhook and 2x channa pulchra... all massively bigger than it... and once it setles in theres a chance of it goin utts, if someone doesnt eat it first....
