SUN CATFISH

[RiverMonsterFisher]

I am looking to buy a couple sun catfish for my tank. How many would be good in a 125?

 

[RiverMonsterFisher]

I was thinking like 5.

So how many you think?

3, maybe 5 if you have really good filtration but id say 3 to be safe

Thanks. What types of fish will be good tank mates for them?

Anything around it's size, maybe some cichlids, it really depends on your preference for fish. Once the catfish are full grown they'll eat anything that fits into their mouths, so avoid small fish.

I haven't gotten them yet. I'm getting them at a lfs. Probably 1.5 to 2 in.
