hey all anyone that saw my thread yesterday will know i've got myself a 12 inch black devil catfish... i've been looking for one for ages and i've decided to try it in my community for a while against everybody's advice... for now at least, most of you who follow my threads will know i've always got/had risky combinations of fish and i'm hoping this works out for a while... if problems do arise i will take actions to protect the other fish, many are for sale inc the jag, dovii pair, african pike, convict (free), and the tsn and rtc i recently got given on aquarist-classifieds if anyones interested or pm me here, im in kent uk... the festae duo may be up for sale for the right price and the midas will soon be in a 120 with the smaller cats in my bedroom.
anyway, he's been in there since this time yesterday and there has been no aggression yet other than him attacking the magnet cleaner when i went near his cave, its so weird having a catfish do that!-) he's a great example and will be staying with me for the rest of his days in my 300 hopefully, ive read they more often than not they top out at 24 inch and arn't that active so i think that will be ideal with its 7x3 footprint. heres a few pics from him in his cave i'll try to get a few more and a video soon.
