Information needed on albino hemibagrus nemurus.

[Chemical X]

Hello..

I recently purchased a albino hemibagrus nemurus 16..18 inch under tag albino chanel catfish from LFS, ( I knew it is hemibagrus nemurus as I have 2.. 18+inch albino chanel catfish). I have placed hemibagrus nemurus with my 2.. 18+ ich chanel and 1.. 24 inch fat albino rtc in pond ( 8 ft X 5ft X 3ft height).

Now I have started to see some serious torn fins.. on all catfish, is this hemibagrus nemurus is really mad aggressive fish which is deadly to all albino catfish tankmates or.. it just new home and new fish behavior ?

Is this fish need to exchange or will adapt with tankmates ?

If the only change in your pond is the introduction of the nemurus (it also could another Hemibagrus species), then it is logical to assume that the nemurus is to blame.

Need a photo to say what you have because in my opinion also, this is not nemurus at that size. But it does sound like hemibagrus to cause issues but even so , there is a good chance that with enough homes for all, they should calm down.
