Rays a good buddy of mine. Got the tiniest goonch anyone has ever seen from him plus multiple others. Is that the 18" on or the 16" one.

When it comes to getting off live, if it's thin i pump them full of feeders first till they're nice and fat then just stop feeding. I start off feeding frozen foods such as tilapia, shrimp and smelt and just keep offering it every 3 or 4 days. That's how it's been for all of mine. Some will take right away, others may take a minute. My suchus took about 2 weeks to get off live and all my rutilus have taken just a few days. The longest it's taken was a month and that was my Indian HLG. Once they start taking though, they go nuts!!! Great looking guy! Don't worry if it takes a while. They can go a loooooong time without food.

Btw, yours is a rutilus since the yarelli's are from India and Ray hasn't gotten his Indian shipment in yet. Good luck and enjoy him!

Ok, he told me it was a yarrelli but I don't know anything about goonch hehe. So I will now be researching about rutilus I guess...

Ya he just learned that the entire Bagarius genus is being reworked. The name B. yarelli now belongs to the LLG from southern India and the name B. bagarius which was once thought as the dwarf goonch is now being reassigned to the HLG from northern India, the true giant from river monsters. Check out Rob's thread about the identification and care of the goonch species. He just finished it and it is by far the most informative thread you will ever read. It's better than anything else you'll ever find online

Do you happen to have any clearer photos of your fish?
