Asian bronze featherback size

[Fraser]

How big does an asian bronze featherback get? Does it remain at around a foot? Also what is its scientific name?

Cheers

Notopterus notopterus
Typically, most specimens kept in the average aquarium do not pass 14", but it's possible.

ok thanks.

Do you think a 14inch bronze featherback would be ok with my 8inch bgk? Its a 180g, can provide hides for both. I have mixed knives before, clowns IME have gone alright with bgks, silmilar mix possible?

Cheers

Notopterus Notopterus seems to be the most aggressive of the Chitala species. It might work, but I wouldn't try it.

I wouldn't recommend doing so. They get pretty bitey!

Yup, thanks for the advice guys, Im gonna give it a miss I think.
