Probably in Singapore. And probably the first or second time I come across Belodontichthys offered for sale.

Apparently they are strictly piscivorous and reach 2 feet long. Their teeth are sharp as hell and very visible. Sort of like a smaller version of Wallago attu.

Nice info. Thank you. Love to see diverse species. I have never seen these fish for sale in the USA. Someone brought Phalacronotus to the USA last year and was selling them as Belodontichthys once. That's the extent of my personal encounter with them

These are very cool.
Do you guys know if they take chunks out of other fish or just eat other fish!
Sweet I'm gonna get one!
