They don't really need a lot of room, since they don't get very big and don't swim about as much as other catfishes (at least when the lights are on). I'd say a 50-liter tank should do.
Banjo cats aren't territorial and can co-exist peacefully with many other fish (e.g. tetras and corys). They aren't fussy eaters and will accept most foods.

I usually throw shrimp pellets into a small pile for my banjo's and whiptails. They eat it as the night goes on. They like to hide, give them caves that pass under rocks for the daylight hours.
