I had a baby whale in my 90g. Eventually all the fish were cowering in one corner & the whale had the other 3/4 of the tank. At that point he was about 6-7". I took him back ot the LFS.

And as fast as possible, Cetopsis catfishes are nasty through and through, why shops are selling these as baby whales i have no idea, the fish that truely has the "baby whale" common name is Pollimyrus isidori which is a shy peacefull fish suitable for quiet communities.
