Giraffe nose catfish tank size?

[GouramiGuy123]

What tank size would be good for a giraffe nose catfish (Auchenoglanis Occidentalis)? Would a 400 gallon be big enough? If not then what other cool catfish would you guys reccomend?

There are other varieties of girraffe that don’t grow quite as large as occidentalis that would more suit the 400 although there are many other cats too - just depends on what style of cat you like.

I like the temperament of the giraffe catfish and the fact that they are kinda like garbage disposals. I also really like predatory cats like shovelnose though.
