teugsli bichir?

[jonah h2o]

not sure if I spelled it right, but I think this is how my LFS spelled it. I was just wondering if anyone has kept a full size one and if so how big it got and how aggressive they are. one of the only things I've heard is that they haven't been in the hobby that long, I think since 2004. also if I pass them up will I likely see them again? if anyone has any information on them that would be great!! a

Your in San Diego. Pet zone SD is the go to place right now. They're always small when available. Not aggressive. It's a hard find at the store. People are getting them online at the moment.

Grew my teug from a skinny 2" to 14" a year and half. 13"-16" cb Teug have been seen here and there. Not sure what a captive bred usually maxes out as. They're really delicate to bullies at this size.

I regret moving mine out. At the time, it just looked like a worm in with my lower jaws.

Leave it in the 60b, just give it 2-3 pieces of tilapia every other day

Been busy so I have not got around to doing this yet. Not easy catching a poly in the 300 without draining a lot of water. Even with the teugelsi being fat it can swim pretty quickly.
