Just trying to plan something new. Ive had my eye on several 300+ gallon tanks and I know i want to do some amazon catfish.

Growing a Lima in my 125, looking at TSN, Merodontotus Tigrinis, and maybe a juruense.

Would they be compatible with a group of Peacock bass of decent size?

And yes i know the cat fish will get huge eventually. But what is the timeline of them getting to a 3 foot mark from 5 inches?

Go with the pbass and juruense catfish compatible and wont outgrow a 300+ like the tsn. Tigs are usually pricey and in my opinion juruense are just as cool.

^What he said.

Plus, do NOT mix tigs and jurs. 99 times out of 100, they hate each other and you'll end up with just one.

Jurs are a great fish. They get great colors in their own right and are, like tifs, a fish that you can't predict how its pattern will look until its grown. You won't regret one.

I don't know for sure, TSN are not my expertise, but they looked right to me. I don't know which species for TSN it really is though, since they all look so similar as babies....
