Hey coelacanth,

Meanwhile, Homer catches a legendary catfish, General Sherman, but to prove his love for Marge he throws it back in the lake...

Preferably yes IMO, but it was just a start point for debate.

I don't go to the extreams on sizes ,not all fish grow to world record size or there would be no
world records.
All I am asking is why give the size of a fish that is possibly the largest ever caught and then
make the statement that if your fish doesn't get that big you are doing something wrong.

If someone ask about Sorubims, Don't automatically say that they can grow to one meter,
when some of the smaller species barelly reach a 12 in.full grown.

This makes little difference on smaller fish , but 12 in. makes a lot of difference in tank size
when it comes to larger fish.
Katman,

I posted the Tiger Shovelnose, shovelnose or other Catfish for the 55 gallon tank, and wonder what pearls of wisdom you can give me. Please note: I live in Michigan where I will lose the fishes in ponds from Birds, dogs, cats, and most nastily popsicle (frozen) catfishes. Is the 55-gallon too small? Will I have to change tanks quickly? I may not have room for another large tank. What would be a good aquarium-mate that wouldn't be lunch? Or am I full of dreams but no reality?


Confused and desiring a large cat,

Scott

Sooo many Beers, So little time!

How many Catfish are in your Tank?
