Wallago attu, commonly known as the Giant Catfish, is a very large catfish originating from parts of Thailand, Java, Indian and Burma. They are highly predatory, pure carnivores and considered extremely dangerous.
Also from a Chromide perspective, I saw a few very large catfish of the genus Ompok (Ompok bimaculatus) and a giant Wallago attu that was almost 4 feet long. These three groups of fish are the primary predators of Chromides in India.
in large upland rivers from Thailand to Indonesia. Population from mainland Southeast Asia (Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and southern Vietnam) represents a different species recently described as W. micropogon. Less common in the wild than Wallago attu.
