Spectacular!!!

Any Updates Viktor?
Mine has now hit the 32" mark and is an absolute Beast !!
Any updated photo's?

Hey there. Thanks for the reply. Wonder if these Indian Hemibagrus are available in the UK? I'm currently keeping Wyckii/Wyckloides/and Filamentus. Have kept Nemurus in the past along with one of the smaller species "Rooster Catfish". Around 12yrs ago also kept a beautiful 16"+ Hemibagrus with a ...

Thanks for the info!

Had a wonderful Fossil /Liver catfish years ago and would love another one.
Collection or delivery.

Incredible videos Viktor. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful thread about one of my favourite fishes. Mine is currently about 16" although suffers from a bent tail (genetic defect maybe?)
I'll get another 1st chance I get
Any update on yours?

Hi Aqua bankie
Shame you didn't go with this fish!
I'd love to own a few again.
Where were the ones you sore a few months back?

Great fish. I've currently got 3 of the Hemibagrus species and have kept 2 others, but never seen this one before!

Still very tempted to move one of mine into one of my larger Ponds. But he is soooooo precious to me & virtually impossible to get here in the UK. My RTC /TSN Hybrid is very aggressive, badly damaged by 28" L. Mammoratus & worried it might attack my Jau.

Taken in as Filamentosum but want confirmation.

Always so difficult with these fishes.
Sold to me as C. Nieuhofi but fairly sure its Gariepinus

Not quite the only keeper...... My Favorite Pim

ha ha ! Thanks Viktor!!

Again depending on size of tank there should be no issue other than the occasional territorial spate keeping Jurense with Plecos. (provided the pleco's are too small to be eaten!)

Ill take a look in the images section. Very difficult to determine because I cannot find any or very little info on Filamentous & some of the images for Docmak look like different species/ different adipose fin. Still a rare fishy either way I guess...........alas one that's going to grow a helluva ...

Jools

These images any good?

Other suggestions have been
Bagrus Docmak
Bagrus Bajad

AMAZING !!!
Thanks for sharing.
No sign of aggression in the bigger environment. Worth noting
I wonder also could the complete lack of any Wood, Caves, Rock formations etc lead them to have no where to " territorialize"?

1st Tank Moved to " Inlaws" at the weekend ...........Only took 9 hrs! Admittedly this was one of the smaller aquariums! 3 visits back n forth with water Butts & Cabinet, another visit with Tank & Containers with fish & a 3rd " Adhoc" Visit as Id misplaced the heads of the External Filters ..... 8 ...

Amazed by this project !!

3 foot!!! Wow that's a specimen!!
Any pictures Viktor?

I will do my best to obtain a few decent images for here.
Current size is approx. 12 cm (120mm)

Managed to procure one of these magnificent specimens at the weekend. Will upload an image as soon as I can. Very similar in appearance to Hemibagrus wyckloides but paler / greenish tint with a few black spots & white edges to Caudal & pectoral fins. Small filaments to Dorsal & tail just starting to ...

Viktor any update on your Jau? I moved my smaller specimen, approx. 15" at the weekend into one of my 8 ' foot ponds. No trouble 1st night, 2nd day noticed a few abrasions on the flanks & tail of my 15" & 18" Calophysus / Mammoratus and a couple of marks on the flanks of my Big 18" P. Bass.....cause ...

Looking to move house in the next 2-3 months. Have a huge selection of fish & tanks to move and very concerned about how to go about it. A couple of my pre formed Fiberglass Ponds are over 8feet x 4feet in size and a number of the fish are well over 26" !! Have some rare fish too that will be on the ...

Viktor is spot on. These are magnificent fish albeit one that gets Huge & very aggressive. Several aquarists myself included would rate this fish as one of the most aggressive fish in captivity

Spot on Viktor. Now my fish has grown on a little & filled out some more it looks virtually identical to the one in your suplied link. Im going with B.Vallianti.........for now!

Tyty without being picky is it possible to post you water test results here? Im not quite sure what green across the board means? as in all your tests come up green or all your test pass the green light for OK? You'll find a wind variance in test kit results. With regards to Nitrite & Ammonia you ...

All the Goonch species are tricky to look after especially at smaller sizes & too begin with. I too lost my 1st 2 purchased in quick sucession :(( but "knock wood" appear to have everything better suited 3rd time around as have had mine now for a number of years. I cannot stress enough the ...

My far the best way to maintain these set-ups is a bare bottom. Doesn't look great but best for the fish. Sand tends to end up the filters & gravel generally traps dirt, waste products etc. These large PIMS have also been known (for whatever reason) to swallow gravel which can lead to causes of ...
