silurus soldatovi? length
Posted: 03 Jan 2011, 10:39
The catelog states 3.5m! Is this a valid species and is there evidence it can grow that big? Just curious.
I would have thought that it's reasonable to expect this fish to grow LARGE. It is a close relative to S. glanis, which supposedly reaches nearly 5 meters. Fishbase lists 4m total length, based on this: http://www.fishbase.us/references/FBRef ... hp?ID=1441
They will definitel grow fairly large, as they are mature at around 1m (again, according to fishbase).
