kryptopterus limpok (long barbel sheetfish)

[cgibby]

does anyone have any personal experience with this species? my lfs has a large group of them in and was thinking about getting one. Do they do better in small groups like 3 or 4 like a a few other species in this genus? also are they very nippy because I had a similar species (schilbe intermedius) and it kept on shreding the fins of my other cat as well a their barbels and streamers

Not at all denouncing MFK but I've read keepers discuss this fish on PCF. Never here. I guess it is not much/enough of a monster On PCF is your far better chance. Sorry, I have no experience with this fish. Surprised by your shilbe's behavior. Mine were sweethearts. But our collective experience is far more meaningful than that of one keeper.
