These mofos get big and eat everything/everyone.. also known as the 'Man Eating Catfish' because they've eaten children in the amazon..

Imported some 1" zungaro zungaro a while back.. grew an inch a week it seemed like.. they all ate each other, ended up with 2 big mean ones, that went to an MFK'er. Then one killed the other and was a foot within a few months.

you want a nicer cat that gets bigger, get a filamentosum. Jaus are just too nasty!

you hit the nail on the head my friend. I pm'd him about it earlier. See I love everyone on here. You guys are great. I can remember about a year and a half ago when it seemed like it was just me and the mods answering everyone's questions, along with some other knowledgable MFKs. Now it's like everyone knows their s@!t pretty darn good.

This jau is gorgeous. Much nicer looking than mine!!!

My guy eats only shrimp, but stick a goldfish in there, and it's gone in a cloud of scales. He's pretty docile compared to my first one, but is definitely a fin biter!
