A final tank size should not be any less than 10ft in length. A build of an indoor tropical pond is ideal for this fish, provided it can not jump out. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:A large predatory catfish. | |
| − | + | |identification=:A large catfish with a broad head and mouth and three pairs of long [[barbels]]. The body is a very pale silver with dark patches on the upper half of the body.
