My new Goonch Catfish

[polish]

That is so freaking awesome, a tiny Goonch.

I don't know how fast they grow but they do get huge eventually. 5-6' at least going by the fish that was caught on River monsters...

I wouldn't risk putting a Tig in with a bagarius species. A lot different water parameters and big $$$ loss when the bagarius kills or eats your Tig. Tig's do just fine in higher current/o2 water but need normal tropical temps like 74-84 degrees, that bagarius should be 68-74ish I'd say although I've seen them acclimated to warmer waters over time.

Ya my Goonch came from the same place his did. He's in 80 degree water. I just floped him right in. The Tigrinus need atleast 78 degree water jmo. I find this Goonch i have to be a total community fish.

Not sure? I'm getting a 300 for it this week. That should give it some room to turn around. The 300 will be 30" wide.
