Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Yarrelli Goonch Catfish - (Bagarius yarrelli) – Giant River Monster Catfish

The Yarrelli Goonch Catfish (Bagarius yarrelli) is a legendary giant freshwater catfish species found in the fast-flowing rivers of South and Southeast Asia, including the Ganges, Mekong, and Brahmaputra basins. Known for its enormous size, powerful build, and predatory nature, this species is a true river monster, capable of reaching weights over 200 lbs in the wild.

Its flattened head, muscular body, and mottled gray-brown coloration help it blend into rocky riverbeds where it ambushes fish and other prey. Due to its massive size and specialized habitat needs, it is best suited for public aquariums or the largest custom-built home tanks.
