Need Help!

[presleyk]

I need help I have a 150 gallon tank and want to put a catfish in it. I'm looking for one that doesn't grow too fast, I love the TSC, but it gets to big. I looked in to getting a lima catfish put want something a little more special or hard to find in the shovelnose family or looks like them.

Simple answer buy a tig look way cooler then a tsn. Don't get to huge and grow slow for a cat. Compared to a tsn and rtc.

Lol this hobby isn't for cheap people dude. My filters cost far more then my tig. And you can get them for 200$ that's not bad at all dude. Plus they are sweet fish. I mean if your on a budget then a tig is a little expensive. I have found babies (2-3") for 100$. That's about double what a small tsn would cost but it won't break the bank. It's just my opinion on a fish that meets what he is looking for........

Money is not a big deal just, how easy are they to get ahold of.

Almost all vendors have them or can get them. Jeff at all about cichlids had them once and awhile. A little expensive there but not to bad.
