>why not ditch the festae's and keep the wyckii?

Because the Wyckii is sleeping in his cave at daytime so i hardly see the fish.
And it would be quite boring to have a big tank with a fish that hides all day.It would look like an emty tank....

Hi there! My Wyckii is currently living now in a 360 liters tank together with 2 Cichlasoma Festae. So far everything is working out quite fine at least for the Wyckii. I usually feed him with a lot of sinking pellets and shrimps so he has not touched the other fishes yet. But he has eaten some live ...

He is eating some sinking pellets but all the fishes are still alive and intact.
But he is a cool guy:-)

4 days have now gone and he hasnt touched any other fish yet. And he havent taken any other food either. He is actually sleeping all day an as soon as i turn the lights off he is starting to move around in the tank. Am i supposed to give him food at night or is he eventually going to eat the fishes ...

YES!
I got him!!
So now he is temporarily living together with 3 cihlids 2 Cichlasoma Festae and 1 convict female in a 160 liters tank.They are about 6-8 cm size.
So what do i feed him with?
Is he going to eat these fishes directly?
Are he going to take an other food than fishes?

Best regards
Daniel

Shane and a few other have a point...
I will buy this fish and put him in an own tank.Im sure that will be the best.
How large does this killer ususally become?
I mean every Hemibagrus cant be 70 cm.
Is 30 cm a grown adult?

Best regards

>Shane Yes thats correct. But the thing is that Dovii is regarded to be the most aggressive cichlid of all. And does the catfish have the guts to bite a fish its get beaten up by? The Hemibargus is 15 cm the Doviimale 21 cm. The Dovii would certainly be the stongest fish and fastest aswell ...

Hi all! I am curios to se what you think of this. I have a couple of Parachromis Dovii and one female extra. Now does anyone think its possible to have Hemibagrus wyckii in the same tank with those? Before you answer be sure you now what kind of cichlid i am talking about. The Hemibagrus wyckii is ...
