WHen it comes to community catfish, there are two groups to consider-->predator or "dentist office" catfish.........Large Predator catfish are the Red Tail, Jurnesse, Gulper, SHovelnose........These large predators require a tank over 200g........And because of the large size, their appetites are large to......Oscars, Red Devils , and Peacock Bass are proper "community" fish with these large fish........ As for the "dentist office" catfish, the catfish are cory doras, small plecos(bristlenose).........These fish are able to live with your basic tetras/angelfish setup......

They get huge and eat everything. "Community" and "Wallago leeri" should not go in the same sentence.

I wasn't sure what type of fish you had referrenced (the statistics of this particular cat fish), so I looked it up by just typing wallago leerii into my search box and it came up with some really interesting information.

One sight you might check out is www.scottcat.com/factsheets/wallago_leerii.htm . It has some interesting information well worth the read. Check it out. You might be surprized on what you find out. I was.

you need a tank upwards of 15' to have a full grown one in a community. or like a 6-7 hundread gallon for just the adult. check out arapaimag's setup. he used to have a leerii close to 5'.
