Ompok pabo husbandry
Re: Ompok pabo husbandry
Can't help you with husbandry, but the fish in the pictures appear to be O. pabda; O. pabo has really short maxillary barbels, barely extending past the eye.

Re: Ompok pabo husbandry
Long time no update, the bigger bully lives on after bullying the other to its death during a period when I was out of station and the lights were off for a couple of days. The cat lives with a Garra sp, and some Channa gachua. There were some Lepidocephalichthys loaches I added with the catfish, but the outcome was not a happy one and I moved the remaining loaches to another tank. The catfish is growing so painfully slowly that sometimes I feel like it has lost some length.
This is the catfish today,
And this is it after it swallowed a loach
Regarding its identity as pabda or pabo, the person i got it from says pabo, and I did an AFC too, but it might as well be pabda as commented by a member. I'll have to contact the person from whom I got this fish again to see if he can definitively ID this fish. There's another lockdown in place right now, after that, I'll probably get a couple more of these cats to see if they exhibit shoaling behaviour.

Thanks for posting the update, it would be good to know if there is more information on the ID forthcoming.
