Walking Catfish owners?

[GetInMahBellay]

Hey I looked online on planetcatfish to see some facts about this fish and it seems like one I want especially because I can keep it with my Oscar. Just wondering if there is anyone out there who has ever kept one as a pet or currently has one hopefully looking for some tips and/or pictures. Thanks!

Yeah, I have kept 'em in the past. Cool fish to have with Oscars, as they are both very aggressive feeders.

Should do OK with oscars. However, obtaining clarias in the US is against Federal law which lists this fish under the Lacey Act (50CFR part 16) It is illegal to import, sell, possess, or transport across state lines. (the law includes most air-sac catfish species)

Wow, you learn something new every day (and it seems, mostly from Oddball).
