any and all info on them. i have been doing some research and coming up with a blank.
 
I would definitely get one to grow out. arapaimag has one. From what i've heard they can't be with anything no matter the size. They have lots and lots of backwards facing teeth, they were on this season of river monsters.... episode: Asian Slayer I believe.

Some pretty crazy catfish. My LFS has like 6 of them :p I would get one if they didn't grow giant and could eat my arm

thanks for the links....i ended up getting one in a big mix up with a wholesaler and now i have to figure it all out. wholesaler told the guy i got it from it was a goonch. then it came in and i saw it wasn't a goonch so they called the wholesaler. the wholesaler said they didn't say it was a goonch. then since i couldn't see it clearly through the tripple bag i thought it was a wels cat so i got it at wholesale cost(mainly to stay on good terms with the connection) then after i got it home i saw ot was a wallago attu. so in the end i was pissed off it wasn't goonch, then felt better thinking it was a wels, then pissed off to find out it was one of these mean cats. then now being angry i still like them and wouldn't mind having one, but getting this instead of a goonch still leaves me with a mixed feeling, kinda salty. oh all this going on with 2 hrs of sleep. don't get me wrong though i like the fish, just not what i was planning on.

i'll have to check out that episode.

any info on growth rate?
 
i have got some info from planet catfish and fishbase. looking for in aquaria info. growth rates, aggression things like that.
 
much more aggressive then either the goonch or the wels. whatever you do do not put it with your VATF!

Any pictures? I've never seen a small one....also where'd you get it?? I've been considering one for a while if I can find it.
 
i was thinking of putting it with my vatf till i saw it was not a wels. i moved it to my american eel tank. i'll get some pics of it in a minute. depending on a few things i may be selling mine.
