Good Home Wanted For Large Catfish Poss 16 Inches

[Budbin]

Hi I sadly have to re-home a fish (free to good home) that was given to us when we bought a fish tank second hand. We have had the fish for a couple of years, we believe it could be 5 years old it is brown and cream and possibly still growing, we are unsure as to what type of catfish it is. It is too large to stay in the current tank we have with 2 adult Oscar fish. He is a beautiful fish and appears to be friendlyand appears to be a healthy fish who now needs to be in a tank that would be suitable to accommodate it. We live in Northwich in Cheshire. If any one has the ability to rehome it successfully and give it the room that it needs please could you contact me with your email address so that I can send you further details. This cat fish does come out and swims round the tank in the day and at night. It is possibly 16 inches long (estimate). We have been advised to find a home for him as we have 3 large fish in a trigon 350 tank and we should only have 2. Please contact us if you are seriously interested. Thanks.

Yes, we could possibly deliver. No it's not a clarias. It's a very dark brown and cream colour, rather dark than light. You are quite welcome to come and take a look at it if you are interested. Where abouts in Manchester are you? Please let me have more details if you are still interested. I will try and find a picture of it on the internet.

Thanks.

I could be interested - I have a 6x2x2 tank inhabited by a clarias - however from your description I'm thinking redtail catfish though - if so you will need to ask public aquariums as they reach 4-5ft at least.
