Hi guys catfish4ever here . could anyone give me ideas of any agressive catfish/sharks etc that could go into a 350 litre max tank thanks. i want to start a aggressive aquaria and don't know which fish to get. thanks to those who help . larger than 15 cm thanks. dont all have to be aggressive but larger than 15cm

Dont know much aggressive catfish, but over 15cm theres spotted raphael catfish, Synodontis granulosa(rare n expensive), mystus leucophasis (asian upside down catfish). I think the leuccophasis can be quite aggressive.

I have a hybrid multipunctatus X featherfin synodontis that fights my Blood Parrot once in awhile.

I have just been to my LFS and they had a Granulosa in... £150... Said it commands a price tag if £1000 in some shops and areas. I wouldn't say a spotted raphael is aggressive. Pim Pictus can be aggressive, all depends on the individual fish's temperament.

No I didnt mean to say spotted raphaels are aggressive, just suggesting catfish over 15cm, spotted raphael is a gentle giant

Only the Mystus Leucophasis, and the Syno hybrid that I have ATM are quite aggressive.

What are the dimensions of this 350l? While we are coming up with fish that grow to over 15cm, consideration is needed that the adult shark/catfish will require a tank at least 4x its length and 2x its width. For example, a 30cm adult Mystus leucophasis is going to need a tank footprint of 120x60cm, but many consider 180x60cm to be far better.

How much current do you have in mind for this tank?

Do you already have other occupants in this tank that temperature requirements need to be taken into consideration?
