What are some cold water catfish that do not grow too large (I have 63 gallon) and are not too predatory?
I like the look of Tachysurus fulvidraco but they grow too large...
Do they have such blue eyes as in the photo? Are there any other blue eyed catfish (smaller) - just curious...
THX!

Hi som,
It may help if you defined cold water or what temperatures you plan to keep the fish in.
Also the size range you want and behaviors you wish the catfish to have.

HI!
The T I was planing on keeping them in is 18 - 20 C. I don't want it to be aggressive to its tankmates...I know that most all catfishes would eat a fish they can get in their mouth...

What kind of tankmates do you intend to keep the catfish with?
or
are smaller members of the genus.

Some catfish from the family Sisoridae are good for this. But you have to check the length. Some of them grow very long(Bagarius suchus, ...)
