Caper Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Browsing on the web last night and read where some people have had these fish for 10-15 years Using the trusty converter (I'm terrible with the metric :oops: ). If I recall correctly, most of the ones that put the size down for the catfish (even after 10+years), they were around the 5" mark.

Caper Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Correct if I'm wrong oh wise fishie people...but I thought I read that they will eat smaller fish? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish_dude Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 This catfish will grow more then 5'' if given enough time- they seem to live forever. I'd have a guess they would max out at about 8'' in captivity. And at that size they will eat small tankmates, eg neons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
