Question about a mysterious gar / knifefish pic from Thailand

[Oscarum monstruoso]

So my friend took a pic of this indoor pond in Bangkok, and I think its of a knifefish and a gar. But looking more closely I saw a bunch of what look like catfish fry, or baby catfish swimming around. Are they feeders, or some catfish fry? (theres an rtc in the pond as well)

The pond is pretty shallow, so maybe the fish are just listless and dont eat the catfish fry, someone tell me whats going on here please.

dont understand what you want us to tell you...it's just a pond with several fish

I think those are common walking catfish. Mainly use as feeders as well.

 

[peewee]

those are feeders.

those small catfish are really cheap in Asia, I can buy 40 of them at that size in Vietnam !

 

[putra]

maybe those catfish are not feeder..
maybe they work for the gar/knifefish as a cleaner in the pond for a living..
(i'm bored so that's why i'm posting crazy like this)

Yeah Im totally new to this type of fishkeeping, I thought they were possibly baby RTCs.

That explains it. Thanks. Here is the rtc pic for anyone who may be interested:

That's like 0.5ft of water? Correct me if I'm wrong

Cuban gar? I think the water's so shallow the top of the CK touches the surface.

Looks like an Alligator Gar and a regular Clown Knife. Those Catfish are probably Clarias Cats aka Walking Catfish. They're used as Feeders in Asia.
