Keeping Ameiurus natalis

These are specific to North American catfishes, and they aren't peer-reviewed science publications, so I felt they'd get more attention in this forum (rather than the Taxonomy & Science News forum):
Burgess, J.E. (2019). Keeping Ameiurus natalis. American Currents, 44(1): 4-8.
Hoover, J.J., Killgore, K.J., & Cofrancesco, A.F. (2004).

And while I'm at it, here is a list of old NANFA papers on N.A. catfishes. This list includes only the articles with the word "catfish" in their name. Other articles may exist and can be browsed here: http://www.nanfa.org/ac/Keeping catfish of different species has been an age-old practice. These fishes have always been classified as cleaners of the tank. Normally catfishes are utilized to eat the waste products from the other, more colorful and entertaining fishes. Drs. Warren E. Burgess and Carl Ferraris, Jr. authored books on the keeping and identification of catfishes. In addition, for the modern aquarist, there are plenty of websites devoted to all aspects of catfishes. This paper deals with one species and how it has been living in my aquarium.
