Ive never seen one like this before. It is amazing looking, I thought it would be a cool Christmas Gift for my sweetie. She did a google search and saw the word "man eating" and said no way. She has a nice tank thanks to me. But this attu is up for adoption.
This rare color morph is about 8" and is show fish. (see for yourself)
$60
PU So Calif
Shipping is available but not cheap.
The last fish I sent out at that size cost me $80-85 DHL overnight.
Here is a blurb I found
A pet store in Michigan which had a Wallago on display, tried to convince a disbelieving customer about this fishes aggressiveness. After all, the Wallago just laid on the bottom of the aquarium without moving. He was also curious why the pet store owners kept several large heavy blocks on top of the aquarium cover. He was soon to find out during feeding time!!! The fish nearly flew out of the aquarium attempting not only to bite the fish being introduced for food, but also tried to escape from the aquarium in an apparent attempt to go after the person feeding the fish. The customer needed no other explanation. The Belle Isle Aquarium also reported similar behavior from the Tapah. Employees are warned to be very mindful of this fishes tendencies to "bite the hand" that feeds it. These fish are dangerous and not for the faint hearted
