Keeping Killer artc in a comm?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
this is a fish you really need to ask yourself if you're enjoying keeping...from the sounds of it, you don't. The option exists to re-home it to someone that doesnt mind seeing an empty tank during the day.

Or go for something similar but not as aggro perhaps
 
sounds like a killer forever then, give up and keep it alone...
if you want a hemibagrus in a community maybe try a wyckii but better you could buy an albino or normal hemibagrus nemurus they look very similar and max out around 12 inch.
 
I got rmkblades' ARTC yesterday. It's ~14". Trying to comm it with an 8" umbee. The beginning was rough but then things quieted down. Umbee gives way to the cat and the cat stopped chasing it around their 240 gal.

Good luck, maybe he'll be nice with larger cats in a larger enclosure when he's bigger if that's your plan?
And for the op, didn't you start the thread before where we warned you or was that someone else? Regardless you should've known how it'd be going into it. But I don't blame you for trying either, maybe you could've had the exception, but once you see aggression towards one fish you should've known you didn't have the exception
 
Ya, I had a 6" wyckii killed as soon as it went across the divider with the artc. The problem was it doesn't show any aggression until the lights goes out. IM not sure how Asia had all the artc live together? Maybe in a pond works.

I saw a video with a large pond with like 5 big artc all were very beat up though and you can tell they were fighting.
