Saw this at Omaha Zoo what is it? Very cool fish! Not the Pacu but the one in the left corner

That would be a ripsaw catfish. Have one of my own. Very neat fish.

you talking bout the oxidorous niger or the pacu? they do look sweet together but i had to get rid of my pacu cuz i was so tired of them picking on my other fish and having to hand feed the niger and other pims i have.

Thanks! Ripsaw... I have heard of them but never looked at them. Very cool fish I must say. I of course was drooling looking at him and he looks so cute sitting over in the corner.

I had one about 30" long and he was the coolist fish. He was getting to big for my 220 and he went to a koi farm in ohio. They used him to clean the alge out of the cement ponds there. We went up to see him and there was one about a foot bigger than him. They are pretty laid back fish.
