Actually I think the fish you are both referring to is a Calophysus macropterus the Vulture catfish. It's probably about 21-22" long.

Not sure what fish you are referring to that is a pictus?
Please check the second time on the video and tell me so I can look at it and see which fish you are looking at.
thanks

He was big. He just died two weeks ago and measured 24 1/2" total length. Wallago attacked him but did not eat him. Got him at 3 1/2" in 1998. Grew him up in the 15,000 and moved him Feb 7 2010 to the big tank. He measured 23" plus a bit on that day in 2010.

@Jose1382 He is still growing and friends estimates are between 16 and 18 inches.
The big one in the 15,000 gallon tank video died and was still 22" on his death bed.
He was killed by the 26" black shark.
