Ahh, the asian red tail catfish. A beautiful yet aggressive catfish. A species only tank for these would be nice especially if it contained albino, platinum, and short body ones.

Be careful keeping them together. I wouldn't add them to the tank with the other cats either once they're bigger... seems they only behave in huge tanks.

Agree with Moe. I've kept 3-4 little guys together until about 4"-5", which is when they started attacking each other. That is if these are wyckii. If these are wyckioides, I've never had multiples.

Wyckioides to my eye

Agreeable. Albeit I've been burnt before. They are hard to ID when small and the colors of their barbels and tails can be misleading when that young.
