Met up with Jeff Rapps today and got a pair of Pseudoplatystoma orinocoense. Great guy to deal with and hope to get more fish from him in the future. The fish are about 6 inches in length right now and I noticed one is missing one of its front find and there's a real small one in its place. I assume this may be net damage as these were wild caught from Columbia. Will this grow back? Also suggestions on tank mates. He's got a bolt cat I may try to get if I can raise the funds before it's gone. Thinking about peacock bass but I've had no success keeping them alive at a small size. Any thoughts?
 
Bolt cats only get around a foot I believe so not a long term tank mate. The bass could work.
