Cetopsis coecutiens

[Jakob]

I need some info on those guys, i want too get one or more.
So ive got some questions on them.

1. How large do they grow?

2. What tanksize could fit a fullgrown one?

3. Are they aggressive against each other?

Does anyone have or have had this cat (Blue Whale Shark), what are your experiences on those cats??
Does anyone have a pic of a Cetopsis coecutiens/Blue Whale Shark.

not aggressive towards each other.

I was at my lfs today... I've kept many cetopsis together at once in a tank. The more there are, the more aggressive/frenzied they seem to become. They were maybe 1-1.5" long, and I threw in a small goldfish that had jumped out of the feeder tank. They ate the feeder, and then proceeded to attack the horseface loaches that they were previously living with, they had to burrow under the substrate until the catfish calmed down. Very unpredictable fish, I'd only keep them with something like armoured catfish or polypterus, maybe cichlids.
