Well, a while back I posted a thread to ID this catfish. It is an Asian Upside Down Catfish. Which fish can I house with her?

What kind of environment do these fish prefer and what do they like to eat? I have a pot she likes to hide in until night and one fake plant....

You are going to need a much larger tank, Mystus leucophasis will grow to at least 8 inches and possibly 10 inches. They like to eat fish, they are primarily piscavors which hunt down and eat any fish they can fit into their mouths, in captivity they will eat most meaty foods such as prawns, whitebait and mussels.

I'm afraid your fish is just goin to get more and more aggressive, the best tankmates are much larger fish like oscars, tinfoil barbs, bala sharks and common plecs which they cant bully too much, normal community fish will be terrorised and killed or just eaten.

What is the minimum tank size, and what is the preferred size? Hmm, I don't know if I can get oscars and such.
