hi, im new to this web site so im just pressing button to see wot dose wot.
there's only me here, everyone has been talking about rob's (clarius)catfish, i got one give yesterday hoping it would stop my two convict's from bullying my fish, its still a baby at 8inch long(i will post a video of it when it comes out to play).

Sigh... there are different types. Some grow out to 5 feet or more. Mine was a baby at 3 inches and it grows to 12 inches with a maximum size of 15 inches, my local pet store breeds them. The manager showed me a few breeding pairs and they are only about a foot long.

i hope mine only grow to your size cos i would have to get rid of it if it grew over two foot, how big is yours?
ive got mine in a tank with two tiger oscar which are 9inch, a plec at 13inch, about 30 kribs that i bred,and two evil convict's

Well he is the same size as my big red empress hap and my living stone... so 8-9 inches maybe?

"This is certainly one of these catfish that you should keep "home alone" as it is a voracious predator when it starts growing from the small cute catfish that you bought from the local fish shop (in the U.K. anyway) to the fast growing predator that you see before your eyes!."

Ive had a couple pass through my hands, never had any real aggression issues but they do get big.
