platysilurus mucosus Tank size

[Rtc/tsn]

What’s the minimum tank size for a platysilurus mucosus. I had one a while ago but lost him to popeye and really wanting to get one again

Whilst not a big fish (8”) the whiskers are long so you will want a tank with width to stop them being in contact with sides all the time. Then of course it’s the bigger is better but I would suggest something like 4 ft x 18” minimum really for an adult.

Mine is in a 4ft tank and is doing well.

Thank you both. I miss my old mucosus cat. They’re definitely unique

Iamfish keeps one too currently.

We had a pair in a 120 gal.
