Hi. Any one into Pangasius hypopthalmus ? I need info on the breeding protocol of the catfish. I have mature fish that I want to breed.

THANKS.
 
i have never kept these as of space issues.

i was told to breed they need a LOT of room to be comfortable first.

not sure how correct that is.

alli could find was this.

Breeding/Reproduction:
Although it is raised in Thailand in ponds it does not readily breed in aquariums.

and this

Breeding / Mating / Reproduction : Not common in the home aquairum. Breeding has taken place at aquaculture farms and ponds.

hope it helps but good luck!!
 
Hi. The fish are in a 1000 gal. recirculating concrete tank as of now. No problem about space as I have many tanks of various sizes available. I hope to breed pangasius to supply seed stock for commercial fish farms. Thanks.
 
awesome, please post pic's if possible too!
