I like mine, eats earth worms, froze krill and chunks of shrimp. It will not take prepared foods pellets ect.

Some will mine doesn't but I never to force it too.

sry to derail but how did you break yours into eating worms mine is just a big baby and i need to spot feed like a crazy guy to get him to eat

I just drop it in the tank, it swims around until a wisker touches it and bang all gone. Pellets like I said it doesn't recognize as food. Shrimp, krill and worms is all it eats.

Got any advice for me on how to get mine to eat? LFS gave it rosy reds, said it wouldn't eat anything else, I tried flake, pellet, frozen bloodworms, squid, clams, brine shrimp, krill, and fresh Cod fillets. Earthworms sounds good, what else do you recommend?

30" catfish for a 150? i dont think so lol, ive seen a cple older specimens over 30" also... marbled pim would eat the o.p.'s other stock eventually. I agree, a good cat to own but not in a 150....

o.p. i agree lima shovelnose would be a good canidate that could live in ur tank for life, possibly a few pictus cats also. maybe even a vulture cat... Id stick with anything maxing out at 24" or less....preferebly even 18" or less tho if u plan to house them in there for life. U might squeak by with a girafee cat but they do get big, theres a smaller species of giraffe that would be very suitable if u can find one.

Ameiurus catus


White catfish

Eclipse/Sun cat good choice too

I like lima / elongatus suggestion. Must remember though that apparently in UK / Europe they get lima a lot more often than we in the states. The tank's only good for elongatus imho.

I'd get 25 Pimelodus pictus. Or 6+ Sorubim elongatus. Other suggestions are also feasible, in fact, too many would work in this scenario that it is hard to focus.

The only Auchenoglanis (giraffe catfish) species that allegedly stays 1' or less is senegali and even there, there is no agreement between experts.

Your reply is funny, Monkeybike As funny as your avatar But Wednesday13 is more correct imho. I'd go further and not put any fish that grows over 12" in such a tank.
