My local fish store just got in some nice jaguar catfish and I have some questions about them

1. Do they come out to eat in the day
2. What food do you guys feed yours
3. What is there growth rate
4. What size do they usually cap out at
5. Can they be kept with oscars (my oscars in 90 percent blind so I don't think it will cause any problems).
Pictures of your specimens would be appreciated 😃.
 
I don't have much experience with them, especially long term.

1. Do they come out to eat in the day
***Some do, some don't. Seems to depend on the tank setup, lighting, tank mates, that is everything must be just right for them to be comfortable enough to come out in the daylight.

2. What food do you guys feed yours
***Pellets and cut fish.

3. What is there growth rate
***Relatively slow.

4. What size do they usually cap out at
***I'd like to say 6 inches.

5. Can they be kept with oscars (my oscars in 90 percent blind so I don't think it will cause any problems).
***IDK. I personally wouldn't try it if I could avoid.
