Did you check the Ca-eLog? I think a 78-gallon tank is too small for it, though.

Yeah not a whole lot says they're pretty rare. If the tanks to small what other large catfish is "playful" or "personable" like the oscar? What about a bullhead? Thanks Evan

P.S. Love your Cat of the Month articles I love them and read them over and over.

Pimelodus blochi, P.clarias and P.ornatus should work fine. They'll be much more active than the uranoscopus as well.
