OK then maybe not. I've known Clarias to not stick to the bottom. Wels? Just kdding.

got myself a black lancer cat today and was wondering if there are any other cats i could keep with it in the tank its only about 3 inches at the momement so if but it in a 30 inch tanmk to grow it on a bit

what can i feed the black lancer to grow it quick

 

[lophius]

lots of worms - chopped, bloodworm, if it is eating pellets - then sinking carnivore pellets ... nice choice !!

what about any other catfish maybe another black lancer or what the tank he'll go in wont be set up for another 2-3 months how much do you reckon he can grow by then are worms out my garden alright to feed him

I think your tank could look more dramatic with another small catfish choice than another Black Lancer Catfish....just in my opinion... but I think you should try a Jaguar Catfish or Gulper Catfish if you can find any in your LFS...if not and you are kinda thinking about getting one...please check out some of the vendors on this forum as they have more better quality catfishes and other fishes you may be interested in As for some for the mid-top section of your tank...you can try some Silver Dollars in a school of 3-5... but if your not really into those tetras...go for some type of smaller species of cichlids like a Green Terror but well lets just see what you think and what others hae to say

Unfortunately super luke is in the UK so MFK vendors are not really applicable - its a bummer being this side of the water sometime !!

I'd go with another black lancer - you could even get a couple depending upon what you are holding them in at the mo.

earthworms from the garden will be fine - just chop them up - you can also buy them from fishing tackle shops should you get stuck in the garden. give them some frozen bloodworm as well at least.

There are all sorts of small / medium size cats that will mix and I like the suggestion for the jaguar cat - they are beautiful if little secretive.
