Minimum sized tank for Marbled Pim?

They should do fine,but make sure you have a wide enough tank as they tend to freak out if thier whiskers can touch each side of the tank.
I have a foot long + in a 125g. Loves to stay under driftwood....had to find a piece big enough. I keep him well fed so he doesn't bother the other tank mates (anywhere from 1 1/2 in to 4 in). I did have him in a tank with my large pacus, which I had for over 7yrs. I thought the pacus were going to eat him alive!! They just kept picking and biting at his fins and whiskers for months. Poor thing....well, you see who I kept.....my tame, handfed kitty fish,...and my old 7 1/2 yo oscar, who doesn't bother anyone.
id say a 5 x 2 x 2 would be good but depends on the groth as they max out at 24"-30" mabey but thats a best!!
Tank will be 120" x 24" x 24" 300gal
What cichlids go well with them? Can they go with Red Tiger Mota or Trimacs? wonder if they would even bother them?
Whats a fair price for a marbled pim, the lfs is selling one for $100.00 ? is that reasonable?

well whats the size on him and if its not a perruno or a marble catfish and is a true marble pim. then thats a fair deal yes .
A perruno is a true marbled pim dummy... If it is P. perruno then $110 isn't a bad price but if it's L. marmoratus than it is kinda high...
