i want one!!! so i need to know a few things.
1 were can i get them?
2 what all does it need?
 
Needs a massive tank, tons of food, can be housed in a tropical setup, but would do best in a cool water setup. They grow enormous, and have huge teeth, and an attitude to match. Go the the buy and sale section of this site. There's usually a few there.
 
some do stay small
:)
 
only thing is to make sure they are actually yarelli and not another bagarius species BECAUSE thats very cheap and most authenticated yarellis cost more than that.
 
are they goonch? im know little about catfish and i tryed that name and cant find pics. i raise gar and been wanting to go into catfish(besides a little pictus). and rays but thats a whole nother thing.
 
I wish I had a monster enough tank for one of these.

Their open mouths look like a Hieronymous Bosch painting of the entrance to Hell...
 
Yeah there is like 5 sp of bagariu the yarelli is the devil cat. big boy. I asked awhile back if he could be housed with a full grown GATF (4'+) and I was told no. the yarelli would take the GATF. so unless you don't mind the possiblity of having a huge tank with one fish I would look into a smaller one. I think the bagariu bagariu is the smallest. but I haven't seen them for sale.
