List your predatory catfishes!

[piranha45]

lophius, what's your estimate on the wels' prospective growth rate?

 

[lophius]

failry quickly - but it depends on food availability - I kept one for 8 years - got it at 3" and grew it to 3ft (or there abouts) in about 3 years and then stopped it (or considerably slowed it down) ..
