Sometimes, the truth hurts, and my posts are trying to get him to not listen to some of the bad advice given in this thread. My fish is in no way underfed as he gets a varied diet of small bits of shrimp, worms, fish fillets, pellets, and many other aquatic related foods. He just will swim during the night, not very fast, but slowly moving around, he is a pig and will still, even after full, look for foods lodged in the substrate and other decor.

ok this will be my final to and fro with you on this as we are wreking the thread.
"truth hurts"? what truth? i have given no bad advise to the op, i advised an absolute upper limit and suggested they use planet catfish as a research tool to make up their own mind.
mainly what you have done is say everthing is wrong - give some practical suggestions for the op or at least say something funny if you have nothing helpful.
if you still feel you have some thing to say you are welcome to pm me.:D

I was thinking about a person laying down to give the same configuration as a fish. long and narrow like us. which is why we have 8 foot ceilings. lol

Yeh, but we dont move up and down in our environments. we move along the base - which is what the majority of catfish do, which is why our footprint is equal to their length rather than our height.

In closing the "person in a room" maths was way off as has been pointed out by one of the more stable posters.:grinno:

Pretty sure its actually pretty accurate. More stable posters? A person with under 200 posts disagrees, and one with 1.5k plus agrees? I'm lost, but you know post counts dont mean **** when your argument is flawed.

And just on that thing about catfish not using the entirety of a tank, well you have best tell that to those in my 6ft - the 4x plecos, 2x~12", 2x~8"; the Synodontis Eupterus at ~8"; the 2 pictus cats and the mystis vittatus. Every single one will race from one end of the tank to the other.
They could survive in a smaller tank but would they be happy?

No sir they would be inactive catfish and not be happy zooming around the tank :headbang2
