Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank
- Thread starter arapaimag
- Start date
btw... Could I get a couple pics of the goonch you used to have???? I heard it was a beast!
Sorry never took any pics when it was small in grow up tanks and once it got in the big tank seldom came into a good area for a picture.
It lived in caves in the lava rock and came out mainly in very low light conditions.
It actually was not much of a beast it only grew to about 36 inches in eleven years. My Wallago leerii thumped it at every chance.
I'm sure other MFK members must have larger ones and good pics.
For african tiger fish contact Oliver Lucanus in Montreal Canada at Belowwater or Jeff Rapps in USA.
Both had them in stock in recent contact with me. Both ship.
Good luck getting the fish you want and have a great christmas and new year.

Thank you very much you also! How is your wallago attu doing these days? I think they are some cool cats. Think I can get a picture? BTW only 36 inches?!?!?! only you would say that
Also was it vagaries yarelli from thialand or india??

Not sure as the importers seldom really know themselves where their collectors actually get the fish from.
Many collectors deliberately mislead where a fish is collected from to prevent other collectors from finding a good source.
Based on the year I bought the fish and that India really did not allow much collecting/export in 1997 I would think the goonch came from elsewhere.

It is the only W. attu I have ever owned and it is just a baby. I only bought it in October 2011 and it is probably only about 6/7 inches long.
I quarantined it for 6 weeks in a 10 US gallon/8 imperial gallon/37.85 litre tank. I slowly weaned it off live food and onto mackerel/herring/silversides/shrimp diet. It has been moved to a 50 US gallon/40 imperial gallon/189.3litre tank. I still keep a large shoal of guppies in it but it serves more as a reason to exercise the attu and provide just a small amount of live food. The tank is heavily planted with plastic plants and bogwood. The fish is not easy to photo.
When it reaches a larger size and it is moved to a larger tank I will take a few pics.
