Wonderful!

I only came across two cases - LiamIrons https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/posts/7391630

and GiantFishKeeper101 https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/posts/7974451

AFAIK, neither one is currently keeping the fish, nor had kept it for long.

thebiggerthebetter nope, I'm never in the league. I used to wanted to collect most catfish species but in reality, when life gets in the way, you had choices. So I only decided to kept 2 species only near future, wels & piraiba.

Seems to have settled in well

Growing well. Finally eatting well , took a while to settle, was slowly pulling my hair out.

Eatting mussles and prawns.

Swims up the sides like sturgeon, or a vulture catfish.

Very cool to say the least, I’d like to think looking him at tonight, I’d say he’s added some length and girth.

As for the question about only one in Europe and who has one, depends on where you got this one from!
Pier Aquatics in Wigan in UK had one for sale on 6th November last year.
I'm guessing that a fish like that, they don't still have so either you did or there is one more out there no one we know of has. Beauty though, either way.

This is the one from pier that arrived November.

Guess I’m on my own. I haven’t found anyone who has one even on social media sites.
