Hey everyone, I am from Hawaii and nice cats are hard to come by here. Well anyways, I recently purchased a 9in achara cat which currently resides alone in a 65g (36''x18'') tank. Im pretty sure he'll outgrow his home sooner or later. How fast do you guys think he'll grow and does this depend on how often, when, and what i feed him? Right now I got him going off of sinking pellets once or twice a day (poor guy gotta get him some beef heart and shrimp one day). I've did a search on this and found various answers. Also if there is anyone from Hawaii willing to take him when he becomes a real monster in the future please let me know. Thanks everyone, Happy new year.

How big of a tank do you need for that thing? I live in Hawaii but I'm not getting my 100g for a year
Good to see more locals on this forum. You need at least a 100, probably bigger. A friend of mine has 2 in a 260gal and they are both anywhere from 22-24in long.
Thanks for the info, do you know anything about the legal systems about keeping certain types of fish in Hawaii. I've always been meaning to get a 200-300 gal tank but have been holding back since there havent been much variety of monster freshwater fish available at any LFS.
yeah, the system in hawaii sucks. Just think of any cool monster fish, chances are they would be on the prohibited list. Pretty much the only large predatory catfish you can get are the acharas, planiceps, and.....thats about it. If not, go check out the dept. of Ag. They have the list posted on there website. Not sure about the web address though.
