Goonch Catfish (Bagarius Rutilus)

The Goonch Catfish (Bagarius rutilus) is a large, predatory freshwater fish found in fast-flowing rivers across South and Southeast Asia. Known for its robust body and powerful jaws, it is a highly sought-after species among experienced anglers and aquarists due to its impressive size and strength. Goonch Catfish are carnivorous, feeding on smaller fish and invertebrates, and require a spacious aquarium with strong water flow to mimic their natural habitat. Their aggressive nature and large size make them more suitable for advanced hobbyists with the proper setup.
