wood cat... well they hide alot, get about 5-7 inches max, feed them worms, shrimp, pellets...anything..... just your normal catfish care.
Think your confusing two different fish here, with quite a bit of difference in size as adult.
Trachelyopterus insignis
Trachycorystes trachycorystes
Trachelyopterus insignis
Trachycorystes trachycorystes

but I've been wrong here before....

Well considering Trachycorystes insignis isnt even a valid sp, quoting a size for it may be a little confusing
. if you read my reply properly it is easy to see the confusion.

It doesnt look like either of the two types...
Thats no Trachycorystes its

Not even talking about the size, was talking about the names, and you quoting sizes of fish that dont exist. Read the names PROPERLY. Trachcorystes insignis is just a mixture of Trachycorystes trachycorystes and Trachyelyopterus insignis, that why i said that there was some confusion.
I believe i know what confused this whole thing up.. once again the common name, how surprising. oh well whats new
