I hope the shots are what you need as I said before they were a bit upset tonight with being taken out. The rutilus let me hold him though and didn't move much the Yarrelli however was a pain in the ass!

That doesn't surprise me. Yarrelli are some badass fish! Good thing you didn't get bit! :D

When I get mine, I'm probably gonna let it bite me just to see how it feels. I've already been bitten by a payara and a GATF so I'm curious to see what the goonch has to offer. ;)

It may take your finger tip... not sure if you have seen my Rutilus feeding video but you can hear the jaws coming down on the rosy through the glass.[video=youtube;pmY1ycbdpaU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmY1ycbdpaU[/video]

Holy Jesus! :ROFL:

Maybe not! That at least LOOKs way more impressive than what either of the characins can do!

Depends on their size. Usually you wont see any goonch under $200 its usually $200+

Yea, plus the tank needed for any Bagarius is quite an undertaking. I am taking on a $4,000+ tank or pond build. I have not decided yet. I never want to get rid of these amazing creatures.

BB is commonly thought to only stay 8", correct. I'm not entirely convinced that is true, but until I can find evidence to support my hypothesis its safe to say that this is correct: BB is a separate species of Bagarius that does not exceed 8".

However, they are EXTREMELY difficult to tell from a juvenile yarrelli and as such, its a bit of a gamble to be sure what your getting when trying to buy one unless you have a very cooperative seller. I have a surefire way of telling them apart. Stay tuned over the next week or so, I'll be posting a new thread with a guide to ID Bagarius. I'm just waiting on responses to a few emails to bring some conversations to a close.
