I have a catfish which i think is a Synodontis Eupterus but it is over 9" long? is this possible or is there a larger version?

240 litres (43" long 16"wide and 22" deep) with lots of space. The 8 tigers are about 1 inch long got them friday along with 4 pictus cats.

The barbs i'm going to get are tigers and red line torpedo. can't see them being eaten as "Old one eye" isn't the fastest fish around (unless he's eating!) i feed him on red dragon fly lavas and algea flakes.

I'm going to get some more fish on friday and on my list are 4 or 5 pictus catfish that are about 2" long at the moment. I'm also getting some barbs but they should be fine as they are a shoal fish. do you think they will be all right in the tank?

Cheers!

5. 1.5" to 2"

COLOUR : Dark Green with black spots on the fins and upper body.
DESCRIPTION : Looks like a plec of some sort but has long barbels and a smaller dorsal fin. It is a quite active fish and feeds happily on algea waffers. It isn't an ...
