I am courious to see if anyone has experience with keeping multiple lince catfish in the same tank. Also is it possible to sex them and do they breed in captivity? I know they are aggressive against other types of catfish.
Multiple lince catfish in same tank
- Thread starter M3AN ONE
- Start date
On pc the latest keeper suggests theirs is quite peaceful especially to other bottom dwelling none bagrids. Also notes fast growing (.25” per feeding!) but does not keep more than one.
I have 3 lince cf .
1 is a 16incher , the other two are babies and just came from brazil at 8” three months ago .
i put the two small ones in the same tank as the bigger lince when they first arrived . This lasted for 2 months and i habe separated them for a month now because the tank was getting overstocked with 10 ish atlantic tarpon growing fast and they kept interrupting and spooking the small linces when they are trying to feed .
all three linces was completely unharmed no chipped fins whatsoever . To add more details , all my three lince are from brazil not Peru.
A bit out of topic but i heard the brazil ones are reported to reach bigger max size .
i have a friend who had kept multiple peru lince ( all about 15-18”)in the same tank like 5-7 or so, most died not because of the damage done by each other but due to being spooked and ended up banging the tank wall killing themselves . He still has the video up in his IG , Dm me if anyone happen to need it .

I’ve kept many in a tank and was very peaceful and a joy to watch during feeding time. Really like a shark feeding frenzy once food hits the water.
