  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
These little guys are starting to put on some size huh?
Yeah
For the amount of food they are guzzling.

The tor tor in the pic is 14", and the khudree is 8-9". That's atleast 2"+ since October
 
Just like my guys. They eat an insane amount of food, spend their days swimming in crazy high flow, and grow very slowly. Very humbling especially when you see giant adults. They have to be 10-20 years old easy.

Yeah, luckily they are protected.
 
FishBase and other sources state that the common size in the wild even for the giant-growing ones is ~1'. Almost no giants have been seen in recent decade or two.
 
Of the khudree ???
My place is close by to cauvery river, I see very very big specimens, 20" and above, and this place is protected for the crocs

The classification of khudree is controversial at the moment, as the current fish shown by me as khudree is considered as a hybrid, raised in Maharashtra, the true khudree apparently is lost, and not many pics of them available
 
My putitora in my pond is 24" and protected by me.
Do share your pond again please.
I vaguely remember you admiring the Algae in the pond with the tors enjoying along with the spinibarbus denticulatus.

The tor putitora and the tor tor are considered sacred here, and in our country once the people label something sacred, it is super safe
 
To catch (and release) an adult gold mahseer on rod and reel is high on my bucket list!
