catfish free to good home

I have approx 18" giraffe catfish free to anyone who would like him. He is very healthy and quiet and lives with rays and arowana and knife fish. My rays are showing signs of breeding and need more room in the tank so will have to re-home him.

thanks for reading.

Thanks i will keep that in mind if he doesnt appear at the weekend. How we worry about these little tikes sometimes.

The shark ate a full algi wafer tonight so i think he may go and eat it if i put it near the hole. Will try your idea if he doesnt appear at the weekend.

Thanks

Sorry still confused, I have to be right as we treating the tank for disease (this is only part of the tank as due to its shape we had to brak it down into triangles and rectangles, we are ok with the latter)
