Are there any monster that i could put in my 60 gallon growout tank? I'm into looking into Catfish, Knifefish, maybe and aro? Not sure, kinda just researching fish at this point. Any information you can give would be great! Thank you so much! :)
 
BGK is a slow grower I'm not sure about aba's as they're VERY agressive when they wanna be.Most catfish grow quickly,An aro could like in a 60 gal for 1-2 years if it is bought small enough.Datnoids are VERY slow growers, Only growinf 1'' -2'' a year.Fire eels grow at quite a fast rate bit could be in a 60 gal for 1 yr = 1 1/2 years MAX.
 
Do clown knifes grow pretty quickly? My LFS sells silver aros i believe that are about 4 inches. And RTC that are 2 inches. If i got 1 of each would you estimate i'd have to move them in a year? Thanks again!
 
Silver aro's?... are you joking:nilly:
 
Hm Yeah clowns are a bit (VERY!) risky =]]You could try the rare and elusive TIGER KNIFE :grinyes:Altough they only grow to 40 cm MAX!

What are the dimensions of the tank? What is the size of your main tank?

This will help a lot in giving you appropriate suggestions. :)
