Who has the largest catfish on MFK

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wow!! Great looking cats everyone. I'm jealous of the goonch!! I'd love to own one. Catfish are by far my fav fish. Can't wait until I can add my Asian red tail catfish to this thread. In the meantime here a pic of my 17" clarotes laticeps and my 7" giant bumblebee catfish.

Thanks for looking.

Here is the big girl.

The wall she is crossing over is 12" wide, 18' long and 48" high. The tank is 108" deep.

She is estimated to be 60" long and I bought her on January 3, 1991 from Aquarium Services Mississauga at 11" to 12".

She is a Wallago leerii. I do have a male also in with her that is 48" or so.

In the third pic you can see a Phractocephalus hemiolopterus crossing the wall in the other direction. That one is estimated at 46". It is about 14 feet from the glass.
There are 2 smaller ones in the tank that are only around 36" to 40"

I do also have a young Wallago atu that I bought from The Fish Place in North Tonawanda NY at 3" October 15, 2011. That one is now 20" plus. It is not in with the big Wallago because she will kill it.
