Pics of my Goonch Cat

I bought it as a dwarf a year ago at 17cm its now 32cm so clearly not a dwarf with that growth rate!! Took it out to measure it and check it as I never see it move

That is one cool looking fish. I'm not familiar with the species. Where do they come from? What do you keep with it?

Bought as a dwarf but but not I have been informed that its a hybrid goonch. They come from cooler waters so ideally it would be in a cooler tank but its been in with my rays, tiger, gar, aro etc for a year
An inactive fish, theres a programme on river monsters on them as they can get very large , I will have to see how this one pans out

So you made your fish think it was going to suffocate just to take pictures… nice.

There's always one!!
It was being moved from a grow out to a larger tank
In reality not much longer than when you buy a fish from a shop and it gets moved from tank to bag. Wind your neck in!
