I've seen alot of people posting pictures of there "small" goonch catfish/ Bagarius Yarelli.

I'd love to see how they look when they grow up :) Are there anyone with some large Wallagos, Wels, Goonchs? I'd love to see pictures :O
 
They are very few and far between in my opinion
Just like ATF they get massive in the wild but how many people can show you one they own over 2 feet out of the thousands that are sold ? You could probably count the number on your two hands
But I'd love to see some pics of some monsters people have been successful with

only araipimag has a tank that large 56k gallon and a 25k gallon iirc, he has two monster wallagos, female is 152cm i think?

looking back a few years ago i swam in some rivers in india on an elephant safari... didnt know about the goonch then, not so sure if i would be so willing now lol. the guide assured me it was safe, then again they also told us not too worry about snakes, sharks or crocodiles lol.
 
I might get an albino wels for my outdoor pond, just need to find out what to do with my koi first. If I do, I'll get a fairly large one, so it should be big in no time :)

Arapaimag or TLKMND have lots of full grown monster catfish.

Haha, the fish would have to be a word record for that ;)

True, Arapaimag has a 5' Wallago that has been guessed to be the heaviest fish on MFK, there was a thread about it once.
