Shovelnose- depends- tiger or lima?... tiger- no...lima- possibly
Well it is pretty important to know if you plan on getting one, one gets to about 18-24", the other gets to well over 4'.basstank;4315071; said:well idk wut kind... at the LFS is just silver and its just a shovelnose...


If it was just pure silver, like the one in this thread- http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4316827#post4316827 then it definitely won't work (they get huge). Probably the best choice in that size range would be one of the larger synodontis species: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/search_result.php?family_id=%2Fcatelog%2Fsearch.php%3Ffamily_id%3D13%26genus_id%3D29&genus_id=%2Fcatelog%2Fsearch.php%3Fgenus_id%3D29%26family_id%3D13&distr_id=%2Fcatelog%2Fsearch.php%3Fdistr_id%3D0%26genus_id%3D29%26family_id%3D13&size_min=10&size_max=&sizeunit=inches&temp_min=&temp_max=&tempunit=deg_c&min_ph=Unset&max_ph=Unset&order=id&results=50basstank;4317023; said:well idk its just silver... if its a lima its mine tiger its not lol. im going to ask at the store. the thing im looking for is a cool medium sized fish that lookss cool. like 12" maximum 15". if they get bigger i may beable to get a bigger tank but i want a fish like tht.
