the way i look at it is find someone that can house it or buy it if it gets too big or you cant keep it.. if you have a big tank cool.. some ppl see a cute little catfish for around 18.00 they would buy it for their kids 10 gal.. atleast the ppl on here can house the beast for a lot longer than a week or 2......So what im saying is nice fish nice buy and good luck on the housing of the fish and i hope it is healthy for a long time..
