Monster Catfish!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
THanks again for all the comments guys. I kinda wish that this thread was one of those locked threads that only I, and other select members could add info to, and have a discussion thread to go along with it. Kinda like some stickies that I have seen mods work on before. I'd love to add more info, but it's just too jumbled. I hate to see people having to dig through all this stuff just to get to some basic info. At any rate if there is a catfish that you specialize in and can give some good info on and would like to add this this thread please do. Maybe sometime in the future I can convince some mods to clean it up for me and put the comments in a seperate thread.

This is a Exallodontus aguanai, they are mostly exported from Peru as Pinirampus-Cat. But grow only to about 8-10inch.

I got my irwini since they are only 3" now about 7~9" since I got 3. Been keeping since last year dec if i am not wrong. Niger in the hand growth rate is much faster... 1 month can grow 1~2" yup no kidding... I got my niger 1 or 2 month after irwini and it is now 1ft++ big. I try not to mix any other type of catfish in it cos i want to make a theme..they are all quite gentle type.. smallest about 4~5" and biggest is 13~14" and they dun eat each other only pellet... :)
