Catfish ideas for a 180 gallon tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How about a lima shovelnose, sun cat or a gulper? Lol


Seriously though, I like my irwini cat. He will grow large but it will take forever and big ones are actually worth something unlike most big cats. Or a synodontis like biggles.

I'd say vulture. Not sure why their long barbels would be an issue. It shouldn't get much more than 20". I'm growing one out in my 90 gallon right now for my 180 I'm building now.

it's because their whiskers are as long as their body so when they can touch both sides of the glass at the same time they tend to feel trapped and act nervous and flighty. ask thebiggerthebetter, he can fill you in better than i could on that topic.

I was considering that. they have one at my LFS for $50 at 4" which i know is pricey but the reason i don't like them is the painfully slow growth rate. I love the way the look but in the words of sweet brown "ain't nobody got time for that!"
