Thanks, I went ahead and got one before I saw this post anyways Thanks!

Are whiptails good community residents? Are they also good algae eaters? Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. If this becomes a problem I will address it accordingly. However, the substrate of this tank is sand and the banjo will bury if even touched (my spiny eel was sniffing the Banjo and it buried itself) also there are many caves/hiding spots throughout the tank.

Lol, thanks. I think I'll chance it. It's a big tank (28 gal) and guppies don't cost a whole lot. I highly doubt Cardinals would get caught by the cat. I actually just got back from the LFS with an inch & a 1/2 sized Banjo cat. Thanks for the help! Will have pics fairly soon.

Okay, just asking this question again, do you guys think it would be suitable for a cummunity tank? Thanks again!

Thank you again for a quick and informative replies. But let's sayt hey were predatory, are they even fast neough to catch a guppy per say?

Thanks for the reply!

I know it says under the species profile of this stie, however, what size to Banjo cats reach and are they suitable for a community containing smaller fishes such as Cardinal tetras and guppy's?

Yea, I understad where your coming from. Well thank you for all of the replies. I will post something if I find a good way to see nocturnal catfish. Thanx again!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but both black, and brown knifes get quite lage. Couldn't telly ou how large, but the biggest I've seen is around 4-5 inches I beleive. If you want a very impressive large knife, clown knives are very pretty but grow very large, again, I' not sure on how large, but they ...

I'm not sure where you live but in Ontario we have them wild here. They are a cold water fish but they accept a very wide range of temperature. Because they get warm water int he summer, and freezing water int he winter. Just make sure the water isn't too warm. And yes, if your pond is deep enough ...

I agree with everybody. I thinkt he lights are indeed way too bright. What is LED light? I only know them by little tiny lights that are in game boys n such. Lol. But yes, it seemed all fish responded to the red light but yet seemed much more comfortable when ti was on. I just need a good way of ...

Can any leaves go in the tank? If I went to a lake and found some leaves already sunken to the bottom, but I'm not sure what they are, can I boil them and put them in my tank? I don't have any Banjo cats but I do have a leaf fish that would appreciate the leaves.

Well I went and bought two incandescent (I think Hagen) Red Show lights bulbs for the tank. I sat there for about 1 1/2 with all the lights off, at night, but the red lights on in the one tank. For some reason every fish still acted the same. None of my nocturnal fish came out (except my pleco wjo ...

Actually that does help a bit because I know Pirhanas don't like bright lights. Well I got the red lights anyways and will use them at night. Thank you for all of the very fast replies!

Lol. thanx guys, but uh, what does insensitive mean? And yes or no, can south american catfish (bulmble bee cat and zamora cat) see red lights. If so I will get red lights to turn on at night. Thank you.

Hi. I apologise if this is under the wrong category. I was researching on red-eyed tree frogs one day and came across a hint to see more of them. It said use red lights to see your frog because they cannot see the red wave lengths and such. I got thinking, I can never see my bumble-bee cat nor my ...
