im gonna pick one up in two weeks just godda sort its tank out (find some space for it) will one be ok in a 55 gal, 42l,18d,24h?

also heard they need alot of current is this true?

have read the planet catfish thing but cant find any more info out, anyone no any other sites?

If ive been told 2 would fit in my 50gl, then 1 will def fit in your 55gl

I've been browsing on the web and can't seem to find anything other than PLANETCATFISH... also
I did get more info using the scientific name "Asterophysus batrachus"

Man, it sounds like it works out perfect

Yeah, I know. That or invest in a turd fish (I remember someone posting a thread about a poop eater.Just a joke would not even think of adding a poop eater in my tank. Just imagine how poop looks like when it comes out as cycled poop)

I posted a link on pooh under the set up filteration (I think it was under that thread)

I have 2 powerheads in my 5x2x2 facing the long way and just infront of my powerheads is the arm on the intake from my Rena. From the current, my fish love the current and I probly love it more cause from cleaning the pooh everyday, I come home now and see (if Im lucky) 2-3 pcs of pooh.
The water cycles in a circle and as the water turns back to go with the current of the powerhead, there is a very very slight (very small and well positioned) twister that forms right under the Rena. My Ray probly has the biggest pooh and it sucks it right up with no prob. It took me a while to figure it out, but I'm SOOO HAPPY I DID
Here is a pic I took about 3 weeks ago (I did fix the slanted intake)
Right under the intake is like a small clash of water that makes it funnel up, but no pooh is everon the left side of my tank. It slowly moves towards the powerhead. Hope this helps and sorry for the bad pics
