i aquired a fuly grown black upside down asian catfish and put him in my 55 with some limas and oher community cats.
Hes a friendly fish i cn feel him bloodworm cubes from my hand and he is in suh healthy condition hes spectcular.
I had to get oen of those large hollow logs with the one hole in the middle and he seems very happy in it, he swims vertically through the log when the lights are one but once they go off he starts engulfing the rosies i put into feel my lima shovelnose but i buy plenty feeders at a time so i m also able to keep pretty varied and large cory population along with the king clown loaches ;)
I had two once.....

They were still small about 2- 3 inches and one of them killed one adult cory and chewed off the top of the nose on another adult cory in one night. It might have been that particular fish that was both active in the daytime and apparently more so at night.
In my opinion its a responsive but potentially very aggresive catfish.
