Canada eh?
Hey All I have a few tanks with young (verry young) malawi peacocks. I have decided that i want a catfish tank as well but not any time soon. So my plan is to keep a catfish in with the peacocks for as long as posible then when hes to big, ima start my own 200 gal/ possibly bigger tank for my Monster catfish :) My qestion is what is the growth rate of ID sharks, paroon sharks and columbian sharks, I havent decided wich i want yet.. Possibly all, but i need to make sure that when i by them at 1.5.. to 2 inches they wont be at like 6 inches within the next 6-7 months. I cant start my massive tank now but next summer i want them to be roughly that. Any1 know which grows the slowest? and possibly any good sites that can verify this?

Thanks sooo , much for the help.. and yess i know they will one day be MONSTERS .. im perfectly ready to equip em with what they need just not within this year.
 
If your gonna have a 200 gallon tank, then you should stick with Columbian sharks. The parron and id sharks get huge and would easily outgrow that 200 gallon in like 2 years.. the columbian sharks would get to 14 inches.

As for growth, there all catfish so they will grow rather fast. You probably want to have the tank before you get the catfish..

Go to planetcatfish.com and you will find out everything you need.
