Re: Hemibagrus Punctatus
I dont think this species is imported very often at all - it is critically endangered in the wild.
the most similar thing regularly available is which does get a lot bigger & is far more aggressive

Re: Hemibagrus Punctatus
It has been sometime since this species has been encountered in the trade. I would say it is because of both its status in the wild and demand in the trade. This species cannot be kept in a community tank, so some of the smaller bagrids will be better choices.

Re: Hemibagrus Punctatus
Anything More colourful? Like the reason why i like the Hemibargus Punctatus is its silver body with blue eyes and red tail, very colourful and intriguing fish. It doesnt have to be Hemibargus species just other interesting cool fish like this
