Blackwater cats
Blackwater cats
Hi,
I'm interested in getting some Asian Blackwater Catfish. Malaysian or Indonesian species. A huge bonus would be species from Bangka Island but I would be happy with natives from Borneo, Java and Sumatra. Can anyone point me in the right direction for such species and also where I might buy them? Preferably in Ireland or UK. I would also prefer something I could breed and is not likely to make a meal of other fish.
I'm hoping I'm not asking for too much
I'm also looking for some Centromochlus (Tatia) perugiae or should I make a post for those in one of the South American sections?

Re: Blackwater cats
The species you can find in Bangka are those you can find in Sumatra. So I'd go with and .

Re: Blackwater cats
Sounds to me like would be a good candidate. Native to Borneo and Sumatra, loves blackwater, wouldn't hurt a fly. I have some and really enjoy them. Kept singly I expect you could breed them.
Re: Blackwater cats
That certainly looks like another good candidate as you say, joclru, I'll search for that as well, thanks.
