New Rare Monster - Sperata Aor - "Indian Shovelnose Catfish"

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
these get huge!!!! and are mean id watch out when u put him in ur main tank...... I really wouldnt put this fish in anything under a 6' wide tank once it hits 3' if u have any other bottem feeders..... When haveing them with tankmates u just got to use good judement and if u see agressive behavior u might need to seperate before he goes after the fish more.....
 
my lfs has one of these for sale for the longest time $50 and its yours hes about 14"
 
it's different from a dorado.
 
I have two of these guys at the moment. They are probably 3" now and i got them at about an inch. They havent really been especially aggressive only chasing each other a bit but no nipping or fin ripping. Mine have always been good eaters and eat anything small enough that you put in there and some thats not. So i dont think you should have a whole lot of trouble there. and yeah thats all i can think of at the moment but they are very outgoing and aare a beautiful fish. Hope this helped :)
 
Very nice cat buddy cant wait to see the pics when its huuuuuuuge!

Thanks all. :)

I checked on the little dude last night and he/she is doing well. I'll try to post some updated pictures tonight.

I have yet to decide what to do with this fish. I'm thinking I may just setup a medium size tank under my 200g to grow it out in (Instead of my sump) and then once it out grows that I'll decide what to do.
