Family Claridae

[AU_Arowana-RG]

This is the family of Catfishes that have the notorius Clarias Batrachus.

Now, I'd like to know this: Are the other members of the Genus Clarias as bad as the Batrachus? Also, would any of the Clarid catfish be ok with tankmates?

 

[lophius]

I have a Heterobranchus - that's a one fish per tank species - certainly the most territorial of the clarridae !

 

[titanfish]

channallabes apus doesn't grow that big, but is quite compatible with other tank mates, is not territorial at all

 

[AU_Arowana-RG]

Any other species that are commable?

 

[AU_Arowana-RG]

Any others? Please?

I give walking catfish as food only to others. They are quite active and grow really fast but they do tend to bother tank mates when they are on the prowl and are grown

 

[AU_Arowana-RG]

I know that Claria Batrachus can be somewhat problematic, but I'm asking if there are other that are less.

So, no one here on MFK can suggest a commable Clarid?
