Oh. Thanks for sharing anyway.

Interesting! Do they still have any in stock?

Where did you get this SILURUS?

Can the moderators please lock this thread, it has outlived its usefullness. Sidguppy, I will send you a PM instead of arguing here.

keeping a 5-foot fish that can weigh 30 kilo's or so in a 900L tank is sheer idiocy; not even calves or pigs in the bio-industry get THIS cramped, it's sheer gibberish

I understand very well just what you mean. I am not attacking you, but what you says shows just how myopic you are. Obviously I ...

If you already knew what you wanted to hear in response to your question, you probably did not need to ask it. However, you do not need to attack Mats for his CORRECT and HELPFUL advise. He is just trying to help you out and it may make you feel frustrated that you cannot properly house this fish ...

You probably didn't realize that this fish grows both quickly and to very large size, but I'm sure that the exporters DO know this...

I can't help it if you choose to deem me ignorant of these matters. Don't judge a book by its cover. I am actually quite a knowledgeable fishkeeper. I know your ...

Going by the 4L x 2L x 2L guidelines it's already too big for that tank. The tank is 1.5x the length of the fish in one direction, 2.5x in the long, and 1x in height.

I thought that the height would be the least of my concerns? Why is that sort of tank height needed?

How long can an RTC (2feet long) be housed in a 5ft by 3 ft by 2 ft tank. When will it outgrow the tank?

Do you suppose the aqualog book is in German?

Stratton, Richard F. 1997. The Zebra Moray. TFH 3/97.

Hunziker, Ray. 1988. Orange lightning- experiences with Cephalopholis miniatus. TFH 3/88.

Anyone knows where I can get these 2 books in or shipped to Singapore?

Aqualog: Polypterus--Bichirs (Hardcover)
by Frank Schaefer

Keeping Moray Eels in Aquariums
by Purser, Phil

Many thanks!!!

Not a new publication, but does anyone own this book? What are its contents (specifically)? Anyone knows where to buy it in or shipped to Singapore? Slightly off-topic post, but I do not know where else to post this!

Wallago attu (Bl. & Schn.): Freshwater shark of India
by B. M Sinha
Hindustan Pub ...

Actually the person mentioned in the Sticky build three large tanks. 20000 gallons was the middle sized tank. The person in question doesn't want the publicity and as such I won't post his name. I haven't seen the tanks in person, however several very close and trusted friends of mine have.

Any ...

Why is overfeeding an RTC so disasterous? Why does it cause death among RTCs? Not that mine is overfed, but he is surely a real vacuum cleaner when food is around!!!

That fish is EXTREMELY thin! You need to feed it up alot, they need plenty every day..

The fish is not mine!

Does anyone know whether RTCs will contract sicknesses of any sort because of being fed marine fish or crabs?

Anyone knows if these can exist in a 4m by 4m by 2m pond?

RTC: 120cm
Wallago attu: 200cm
(NOT CATFISH): Culter erythropterus: 100cm

Why is this RTC yellow? Why do his eyes appear cloudy?

It is not available in Singapore at the moment...

Can the 2 mentioned fishes live together in a 135 gallon tank?

Cetopsis coecutiens: 5cm
Asterophysus batrachus: 7cm

the latter came in handy because on occasion I've got a face-full of fish exactly like the guys in Asterix le Gaulois

Ouch, that must have hurt! Not just the fish but you!

How do you keep them? Requirements wanted, like food, temp(do they need a chiller) etc will be appreciated.

You are right there. Can't find out much about it on the net.

Anyone keeping them, info on temp, foods, pH, current etc? Anyone has any pictures to share of this fish?

Hi!

Just out of curiosity:
How dyou keep an up to 2 meter migratory coldwater fish?

The thing is that I am not keeping one.
Check up the website!

and the next question is; why do you give it French Kisses?

I wonder how one can give french kisses to fishes ...

I have found out on fishbase that siberian sturgeons (naturally???) have Enteric Redmouth Disease Bacterial diseases. These diseases can potentially spread to humans. Therefore, is it safe for one to raise siberian sturgeon, let alone handle one?

Anyone knows how long the following catfishes are capable of living?

Wallago attu
Pangasius hypophthalmus

Anyone knows how long the following catfishes are capable of living?

Cetopsis
South American red-tailed catfish
Asterophysus batrachus

If it's an alligator gar, I would never keep it in a 600 gallon pond.
