He is 26" tl

He (Auchenoglanis occidentalis)
is the criminal that attacked my breeding male stingray (Potamotrygon sp.) I put him in jail last year (225 gallon) for a few months while the stingray recovered. Trying to decide which one would go back into the 15k.

I ended up putting him back into the 15k and kept the stingray in a 800g with
the peacock bass neoprodidgy gave me at the catfish convention in 2006.

In the pic he is still in the 15k. Notice the swimming pool drain beside him to get an idea of his size.

Hey you like monsters, did you ever see these pics of mine of a real 24" datnoid ?

He was raised by the legend Bill Gibbons (Grows the monsters the fastest of anybody I know) of the Woodstock area of Ontario. He was sold to Dragon Aquaria in Mississauga Ontario.

thats amazing how long did it take
I believe he got it to the 24" from about 3" in 4 years. He changes the water every 3/4 days, feeds earthworms and minnows.
