Stergeon catfish Rare?????

[sandtiger]

The sturgeons you're thinking of aren't catfish, they are a seperate family and yes, they prefer cold/temperate water.

That catfish is really cool, would love to get my hands on one.

yeah not a sturgeon, but a catfish ... thats one of the coolest cats ive seen, what size is your tank, somone said youll need a bigger one...i donno that looks pretty big to me. i really like the substrate too.

the tank is a 200gal more pictures in my gallery

The reason for the bigger tank is P. sturio's extraordinarally long barbels. It's reccomended that you have a tank equivalent to twice the length of the barbels hence the need for a bigger tank. They are not cold water and they are a catfish.

i've read that, but so far mine seems to be a happy little fella and just swims around looking for something to munch on, oh and he'll eat just about anything.

i have been told that if any cat with long whiskers can touch both sides of the tank with them at the same time it will drive them mad

i have seen this kind of cat for sale before but they all had turned up noses i always wondered if it was some kind of deformaty

how big do they get
