Can anyone give me more info about these fish I would put it in a 78 gal. with 2 oscars and a tire track eel? Thanks Evan.

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.

Would they work well together or do they need to be kept seperate? They won't eat the eel would they hes about 8 in.? Are they easy to get only have one LFS in my area.
