I need information

[Alchemist]

Does anyone keep this type of fish , it's called ''Kreuzwels'' in german ? I need information of the type : How big it grows? What tank size i suitable? What plants to use for the aquarim ? Is it a community fish ? Which is the best diet for them? ...

It is a silver tip "shark" that grows up to 16 inches, should live in brackish water that's 75g minimum tank, omnivoreso any meat/vegetable matter, and can be semi aggressive

Check out Planet Catfish for more info about this fish http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=700 if it really is a Columbian Shark Catfish.

I suggest searching the Catfish forum under "colombian shark". This fish should not be in the trade as it is sold to almost certainly be tortured and die as people don't know and, sadly, mostly refuse to know how to keep it.

Not directed at the OP but I've politely offered cautions at LFSs to people about to buy it and all I got was blank stares or the "whatever" attitude... because the LFS workers had just explained to them it would do just fine cleaning up their f/w tank bottoms.

Cross catfish? That fish is commonly called Columbian Shark Catfish. They grow upto about 12-14 inches and are very peaceful. I used to have some adults in a brackish set up.

They must be kept in high brackish as adults or even full strength seawater. They can be kept happily with other brackish species like Scats, Mono`s, Goby species (jades and sleepers) the brackish Datnioides etc

Or as part of a marine set up, they will acclimate perfectly. I had mine in a 120 and I wouldn`t recommend anything much smaller than that, they are very active fish. They eat anything and I had one that starved itself a lng time after I got it.

What brackish Dat are you refering to? Is there a new species I missed?

• Datnioides campbelli
• Datnioides polota / quadrifasciatus
  
  They can be maintained at .0010 SG. So yeah you could comfortably keep those species together.
