I was at my LFS the other day and they had an awesome black lancer catfish in a a 50 breeder with peacock cichlids, some clown loaches, and a few porthole cats. I was lucky enough to find a diurnal asian bumblebee catfish (which is now in my 30 tall community) but the black lancer there was pretty active as well! It was about 4.5-5" and was priced at $47.75, is this a good price considering it's a fairly rare catfish and it's at this size? I'm revamping my 75 partially so I figured this would be the perfect time to grab a nice new catfish if there ever was one, oh wait that would be all the time so Nevermind 
. Anyways my 75 currently has 6 giant danios, 1 striped raphael catfish, 1 gibbiceps pleco (grow out), and 2 cutteri cichlids in it. I'm planning on selling the cutteri since they are breeding and terrorizing the other inhabitants that are in a square foot if their fry and I'll probably replace them with 4 or 5 angels in addition to a medium sized catfish (lancer). Would there be any downside to doing this catfish? All my danios are 2.5-3", my raph is about 4" and my pleco is about 4.5-5". I don't really have any other hiding spots in there now for the lancer but I've got some WIDE PVC I could sand the edges on and I could pick some new decor up. So who out there has kept this fish, what's your experience with it, and would you recommend one for me? Thanks!
