almost there...

Can an 11 inch catfish fit in a 55 gallon (13x48 area)?
I am worried that it would have trouble turning around.
the 55 is the best deal I can get around here, and it's 250$...
My town has amazing fish, but bad tank prices.

i would say no. get in ur closet lay down and try to turn around...not that nice and yeah $250 for a 55g sounds a bit high. can u stick it out and see if u find a better deal? where is the catfish now?

I'd have to agree with Woofy.. If you are near Toronto check out www.pricenetwork.ca There are some great deals to be found if you look... I got a 65 on there for a great deal..

it can turn around no problem..

but that doesn't mean its the best tank for that fish.

a 75 gallon would be much better -its the same as a 55 but 6 inches wider...

For an 11 inch catfish to thrive, it must be properly placed in a pond or 180g or more......

said catfish will only get bigger............

I don't have 'said catfish' yet.
I was wondering if it would work.
And 'almost there' was referring to the fish plans, not a fish's size.

I wouldn't do it, if you had a 6' tank I think it would be a significant difference

I wouldnt keep it in there.
