Does anyone know where I can find one goonch catfish?

I have one 215 gal empty now...I'm thinking about a goonch cat.

I'm planning to get some too. I know a supplier but he only deals with people who does business such as LFS or private dealer as there is a min order.

I thought this catfish grows over 7 foot? Besides KingEL that can actually house that thing, everyone's got like a pond for it too? Or how long does it get that big? =) Cuz I want one too, but definitely not able to house haha~

Size range from 12"-20". I'm actually getting the bagarius suchus aka crocodile catfish as they only max out around 20-30 inches in aquaria and can handle tropical temps. Compare to the bagarius yarelli aka the giant devil catfish which grows very big and does not do well in a tropical temp and best suited in sub-tropical to cooler water.

.... best suited in sub-tropical to cooler water.
