Default Brachyplatystoma capapretum

I recently saw quite a few lsf selling this catfish aka 撒旦鴨嘴.

Anyone has experience keeping it & what's the growth rate?

Thanks.

Where did u spot them ?

They get along pretty well with their tankmates but u do need to watch out not to let them dash around and injured their snouts which may bend sometimes

I would say yes get them

I saw a few at the new aquarium located next block to C328. They were put in the tank next to flavican catfish. At 1st glance they look like flavican with spots

The growth rate could be very slow

i just bought a wave-maker for my capa as i was thinking that some current is good for the catfish.

Please advice many thankxxx.......
