My Wallago Micropogon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Are these named with the prefix micro because they're smaller then other Wallago? I'd love a wally eventually but they're so damn huge...

The specific epithet comes from the Greek mikros, meaning small, and pogon, meaning beard. It is sometimes used in reference to the short and/or fine barbels.

As for the size, we are talking leerii's 7' vs. micropogon's 5'. Both are huge :)
