My walking catfish

[AndreR]

The colouration needs time to develop...it is a matter of time and growth somehow, when they were still little they did not look that nice....

Those 20 I got I will keep until I find a nice pair for breeding, then I will get rid of the others...

two pics of the little pig doing his fav thing:

When mine were smaller they used to dig themselves right into the roots of floating water hyacinths ([SIZE=-1]Eichhornia crassipes), that was quiet funny to watch them hanging with their "nose" right in the plant

Who´s Trip?

'tis me

Great lookin clarias you have Andri and AndreR.

Mines never still enough to get a decent shot of, but here's a picture of him from the other day

I took a video earlier of him pigging out on pellets but haven't uploaded it yet.

Really nice looking completely "white"

Clarias are such a great fun

I´m looking forward to seeing the Video

By the way...considering this thread being the main walking catfish topic...

...I have been sighting several papers concerning Clarias and now I found a quotation that says Clarias batrachus comes out of the water at night to feed on earthworms...

...so some nightcrawlers apparently are more than just a substitute in feeding

Hi Andri,

how are your clarias now?

At what size, I guess we both got ours the same time.

Mine are about 20 cm now....

 

[Andri Pogo]
