Elopichthys Bambusa - Yellow Cheek Carp

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ever since seeing this thread I’ve been reading all about these things. Where did you get yours? How predatory are they? Are there any other large exotic carp-like fish that can survive cold water? One or even a group of these would be awesome in my irrigation pond. Was wanting to put gator gar in it but it seems I may have more options than I thought.

Definitely not aggressive. Not sure where you are located but look into mahseers or golden putitora.
 
In 5 months, from stick to thicc.
This is pretty much to scale.....started at 5"-6" to now about 11".

I’m located in the South East US, gets around 40 in the winter when it comes to temps in the pond, would this be good?
