Tiger Shovelnose. It will get big. It will happen fast. Be ready to upgrade tank size

Thank you all for the info! He lives with one ornate bichir and one senegal bichir.. do you think he could outgrown them enough to eat them? They're about their size.. thank you
 
Whether you move it or not he will soon live by himself. MFK moto, never trust a catfish.

Easily. He is going to push four feet in length if given proper space, and once he reaches a certain size, he's gonna start eating big prey items, even prey items the size of himself... and skinny... like Bichirs.
