also who on this forum has the largest in a home aquaria...meaning not those 55, or any small tanks but who has a large one in a monster tank?
i have a pic of my Wallago Attu in my Personal Gallery so you can see some of my fishes in their...but i'll get more for the other fishes i have and better ones of the others...=]
I feed mine mainly krill. He also likes tilapia filets and currently mine is pushing the 27" mark. if any advice i can in keeping an attu is keep stress to a minimum, keep it fed well, and keep aro's out of his/her mouth if yours is going to be like mine tank mates are in general a bad idea they have a tendency to disappear. How often do you feed yours? mine right now will eat anywhere from 3-5 days a week and 10-15 jumbo shrimp per feeding.

mines eats every 2 days...as when i fill it up with chopped shrimps an pellets and bloodworms and other assortments...by the next day it still has a big belly so i let him digest it for a while....and mines can take one a full prawn but must be chopped up as its still small....are all attus thin? or do they ever get fat? besides the stomach
attu's are slender fish unlike the leeri its said that they get thicker with age but from the pages on the internet it doesn't look like they get to thick just super long. mine does have visible teeth but they are still small. I don't know if you've been told about growth rate yet? I picked mine up when he was 10" and I have had mine roughly 18 months give or take and he's coming close to pushing 27" and he is in a 240. He really has not grown much in about the last 3 months either maybe an inch. So i would make sure you got a good foot print for the tank he's in.catfishlover106;1785373; said:
yup...i was planning on a 12 or 11' x 6' x 4' but instead...i plan on having a larger footprint because of my attu...so it will be 12'x10'x5'....i hope this would be atleast the minimum...if not i hope they taste good lol
