That is one monster fish!!! Are they actually sold in the aquarium trade? I don't think they should be.

Very much so. They show up frequently on the lists of Indian fish exporters.

A UK importer had six in one tank. Two days later he's had to separate the only two survivors - nasty indeed.

I once had a "Killer Catfish" and it tried to eat my arrowana who was bigger than it, the catfish couldn't swallow it fully headfirst so it spit it out dead
