Catfish for 150 gallon ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Are they interactive ?

As interactive as a catfish can be, it's not an Oscar but it knows feeding time and comes out to get it's shrimp chunks. Then goes to digest its fat belly on its drift wood. It also petrols the tank so its not one of thoses cats you never see. Its an active predator so it will eat any fish it can fit in its mouth.
 
Okay. Its pretty cheap at lfs . Will srr if there is any other reccomendations
 

30" catfish for a 150? i dont think so lol, ive seen a cple older specimens over 30" also... marbled pim would eat the o.p.'s other stock eventually. I agree, a good cat to own but not in a 150....

o.p. i agree lima shovelnose would be a good canidate that could live in ur tank for life, possibly a few pictus cats also. maybe even a vulture cat... Id stick with anything maxing out at 24" or less....preferebly even 18" or less tho if u plan to house them in there for life. U might squeak by with a girafee cat but they do get big, theres a smaller species of giraffe that would be very suitable if u can find one.

giraffes are very personable ime... u could def do the smaller species... i believe wetspottropicals carries them most of the time.
