Identity and native record
Wallago leerii (Tapah catfish) is included because authoritative species records document native occurrence in Sumatra and Kalimantan. “Native to Indonesia” does not imply endemicity, captive availability, legal export, or permission to import.
Included for native-fauna completeness, not as a general consumer product recommendation.
Ecology and adult scale
- Feeding guild
- Piscivore
- Reported adult scale
- more than 150 cm TL

Feeding guild is an editorial husbandry aid, not a complete diet prescription. Juvenile and adult diets, seasonal ecology and individual behaviour can differ.
Welfare and suitability screen
Public-aquarium or exceptional specialist scale; not suitable for routine ornamental retail.
Before any future listing, LIMNIC would need to document the individual fish, expected adult dimensions, secure containment, water parameters, diet, compatibility, transport risk and the buyer’s capacity to provide lifetime care.
