I'd be more worried about the santiwongsei stabbing me...lol
You are so right about the stabbing. Don't forget though that there are 5 Pseudodoras niger (32" to 37") in the tank and their shutes can also give you a nasty cut/wound..

Oliver Lucanus got stabbed by other Panagasius sanitswongi of mine when moving them from the 15K to the 52K a few years ago. He was even wearing his Amazon protective gear at the time protecting his legs. He said he still felt pain 30 days later.

I'll try and find pics

I guess everybody are in awe of your wallago leeirii as am I. Truly amazing that a fish can bring such fear to fish as big as your pimas. Do you have videos of the wallagos feeding? Funny watching on YouTube, fish farmers jumping into their pima ponds treating them like overgrown dogs. I wonder if they would even dare do the same for wallagos. There are stories of them being maneaters I read. Thanks once again for sharing your aquariums with us without being condescending towards our puny aquariums. From reading your posts, it sounds like you very much want to educate us as well as learn for yourself. Looking forward to seeing the 15K gallon monster.
