Nice fish! How big is it?

That's yours? Wow! It's a nice fish, but really big.

They can probably tell the difference between food and gravel.

I don't think they do... I don't think you should have sand because they MAY eat it! Maybe at most TIGHTLY glued driftwood....

I bought the Sperata at just under 4 inches as an African shovelnose and was told that it only grows to about 8 inches, its now 10 inches but is not yet aggressive to anything it can't eat. It currently gets along with a Synodontus Decorus and several c*****ds. When it gets too big I will have to t...

I think the fry have died. I will do an article for Roy and send you it once completed.

That's unlucky, but it is still a great achievement!

Wow! The pictures are coool! When I grow older, I want to do this I can't wait to see the pictures.

P.S. The fish you collected.. Are they still alive?

That's so sad! I know what you felt when your Pangasius died. I had my Pimelodus Pictus for a long time, and then one day... It went

Maybe you can get a different fish.

There are some fillets in my freezer. I eat them myself because they taste good and are fairly inexpensive. I also feed them to my Leporacanthicus species for the same reasons.

Very nice fish i would like to keep them sometime. Do you have pictures? "Nice" is not how I would describe any Clarias. Vicious gluttons would describe them more accurately. I agree... they grow like monsters and once they get big, they'll kill your fish :an:. And in Asia, they are popul...

I don't think they will jump out. And suitable fish:

Do Hyalobagrus fit the bill? Because they aren't monsters, but they aren't sooo active they steal the spotlight.

Anyway, I had the same bloat belly problem with one of my Synos. However, this problem persisted until the poor fish died... So it might, MIGHT be a disease...


Guanlong, the lurker.

I think I saw one in a pond, and by golly, it was almost 1m in length!

Hmm. Are those species readily available? Plus I'd bet an Arius would not be suitable. Too big. They'll also need seawater when adult. (if you wanna make em happy!)

I'll expect around 9-10 years, probably more.
