tank stock for 29 gallon catfish only tank

Post by jonthefishkid »

I like big mean predator catfish, no plecos.
what are some larger cats i can get for the tank. i like american catfish the most cause they are big and mean

i want a talking catfish, i like channel cats, the only thing i dont like about the cats i want is that one type ruins nets and the other gets so big it dont fit in the biggest nets the LFS sells

The very first thing you can do in order to keep big, mean predator type cats happy and healthy is buy a tank suitable for keeping them. Until then, it would be cruel to consider putting a fish that gets larger than 6 inches maximum in the tank you have, IMO.

Do you realize that feeding larger, predatory fish is more expensive than those that take flake and pellets? :wink: :roll: :roll:

IMO, you need to growup a bit before trying to keep fish like this in a proper manner. I don't think that you could provide properly for the species you want to keep.
