catfish for a 6x3x2 tank

[njackson]

hi

iam thinking about getting some big tank in my bedroom ,so far i was thinking about a rtc but i realy have to think hard about that to see if i can give the rtc a bigger home in 3 years, so what catfish could i have in a 6x3x2ft tank,. thanks.

i would recomend a channal catfish,because they don't grow that quick, or a shovelnose redtail tiger catfish

I would say a lima shovelnose, an achara, or a marble.

 

[njackson]

anymore ideas

whats the difference between the Lima, Tiger, achara, or marble? i thought a tsn was the only species of its kind? which is the most striking? pictures would be great. thx

and wont any shovelnose get a red tail as long as you feed it crusteaceans?

sorry, but no to the channel catfish idea. he said he doesnt know if he will be able to upgrade down the road. channelse will easily outgrow that

a niger, or a irwini that would look kinda cool.

right iam going to make a poll with a few ideas and see what you would have,never do one before hope it works

Dont even know where to begin here...

There are LOTS of fish with the common name "shovelnose" lima, tiger, zebra, hemisorbim platyrynchos, tigrinus, juruense, the list is endless.

And for the second comment, the redtail catfish has a red tail, which isnt a shovelnose.

I suggest you do alot more reading
