Are these guys commable?

Can these be kept with anything?

Anyone know whether this is doable or not?

I havent heard about these guys in a very long time. I think i remember oddball saying he tried them once, you might want to shoot him a pm. But as far as i know they arent readily imported. But since you are asking i assume you have a source.

But i honestly dont know id be interested to find out.

you can keep them with other fish they'll be fine, really nice cats, only thing you have to watch out for is the spines during water changes. its a nice active catfish always going around gravel searching for food nut not aggressive, just don't keep it with anything too small that will fit in its mouth

One of my favorite fish!, he is with a oscar, venn. pike, 2 jag cichlids, 2 texas cichlids, common pleco, and a bristlenose pleco!!

Thanks for the info guys! Considering their Malaysian in origin (And I live in the Philippines), I'm thinking that they'd be easier to get.

But thanks for the enlightening info!

It's possible to comm a fossil cat with your list. However, the big problem is that the whole Family the fossil cat belongs to is prohibited in AZ (as well as most of the southern states).

Why only southern? I thought the whole family of Clariidae are banned? Which is a problem for CatfishPownage, not the OP.
