That's either rutilus or cf. "Indochina".
The dwarf goonch don't get over a foot. They're related to the rutilus branch of Bagarius. They look similar to these but have a significantly more blunted head and relatively larger eyes. They've very rare in the hobby, only coming in as contaminants with shipments of generic SE Asia goonch yearlings.starting to research - a dwarf size is?
thanks all!
pro tip!That's either rutilus or cf. "Indochina".
They're very hard to tell when they're first introduced and stressed without very good and very specific pictures, which we don't have here. In a couple of days when it settles in, it'll be easier to tell.

Rutilus stays in the suchus size range too. I've heard anecdotes of much larger rutilus, but I've never seen anything I could confirm. The largest ruitlus I've ever seen reliably documented was Aw3s0m3 's. He had it in a 180 with a like sized suchus.pro tip!
good to know -
i’m into the sub 3’ fish ?
looks like i need a dwarf or a Suchus
thanks !
What size tank would you say is fair for a suchus or rutilus?Rutilus stays in the suchus size range too. I've heard anecdotes of much larger rutilus, but I've never seen anything I could confirm.

My idea of what is fair and the general community's is quite different, and I try to not impose my personal opinions onto the community by answering questions like this that could be viewed as authoritative.What size tank would you say is fair for a suchus or rutilus?
