I know the cat-elog has a few reports of breeding but how commonly does it happen? what would be the min tank size for a small group?

mine bred in a 10 gallon tank, so 10 gallons? I think that a 15 gallon all glass would be a great starting point for 4-6.

Thanks. I already have 1 and really like them so thought it worth a go. Im going to make a rack with 5 tank between 30-60L all running off of 1 big sump. 1 of the tanks will have a trio of BNs then another 1 can be used for these then the other 3 can be used for fry And there might be some apistogramma fry in there as well if i can get them to breed.

microglanis sp, corydoras, smaller wood cats those groups have all spawned quite regularly for me in the past(current). I would still think that based on your signature, you tanks are pretty much stocked full.

Why not set up "my aquaria" and "my cats" for your fishes. It won't help you keep it up to date, but at least it will be a good way to show others what you keep.
