You are right to be confused. Sorry. First, I recalled your input in the other concurrent thread with the same topic, where we shot down the largest catfish - https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/catfish.738905/ Second, I hadn't read your list carefully enough. Indeed many entries can be sensible, especially from your perspective, which differs a bit from mine, we both know it. Sorry. I muddled it up.Now I’m confused.
It’s an 8x3 and we had a list of what the op likes. So I gave a list of other cats that could live for life (ish) in an 8x3 and wouldn’t get eaten by a bass or arrowana.
True, a couple on my list are a little on the large side when adult for an 8x3 but not as much as a bass or arowana.
Anyhow, needless to say you go on at your angle. I just confused two threads, confused myself and then you.
I did mention to the OP that an 8x3 won't hold silver arowana and most/almost all pbass for life comfortably.
