Can I Put These Catfish In My 29 Gallon?

[Ohio Entusiast]

the thing is, i don't know if this is a serious thread or not...

Not at all serious although I've seen similar posts like it.


It could be quite the challenge fitting a 4' Catfish into a 32'' aquarium.

absolutely just make sure you add a red tailed cat, and a wels catfish as tankmates.

Still under stocked could even add a Giant Armored Cat and a Baby Whale Cat to go with the RTC and the Wels.

Yeah, I was at the Petsmart today and the fella there told me RTC only grow to 6'' or so, so I should be good!

I saw a sign the other day for an oscar and it said they grow to 8"
Oh and that a suggested tank size for a blood parrot was 10 gal.

dudy, 29g is too big for it for life, 10g will do just fine

I dunno even a 5 gal would make it feel a little more ecure

 

[jp80911]

well you do want to give it some room to chase some feeders so I'd say 10g

oh very true....and exercise is always good

 

[jp80911]

yeap, hookup a koralia 8 power head in the 10g and it'll be a very happy catfish

You don't even need a tank, just put a fishbowl on it's head like a helmet...
