I would try and get an eclipse cat... nice cat gets about 12" and not as reclusive as a jag... i looking into getting some myself awhile ago.. and they do just hide all the time. and I agree w/ the need for some form of hide spot for it if you do, it may stress and never eat if you don't.

You read my mind, I was going to say Lima Shovelnose Great cat, and not as reclusive. All my jag cat does for me is add more of a bio load, I am tempted to take him back to the LFS and see if I can get some sort of store credit or what not. I hadn't done a lot of research on them and trusted his recommendation... what he failed to say was don't buy it if it is a fish you want to see
If you make a hiding spot by say leaning a flat rock against the front glass, you will always see them - these are mine
Yea.. Probably not going to get any cats because they eat anything that they can fit in their mouths.. I have a special fish coming in a few weeks and cannot afford to let anything happen to him. I may be wrong about the tank dimensions. I don't really care about the height as long as its 24" wide. I have a 8x2x 20" high tank waiting for a stand. Pretty much going to move all the fish in this tank to the 8 footer
If the question is for me, then these two were about 6"-7". IDK how would the stress exacty manifest itself but they appeared fine to me. Would never come out for food even over 4 month fast as long as some light was on. Had to start dropping food in their hidey-hole, then they always ate with gusto.
