blue whale catfish questions

[braaandooon]

yeah I hear you about the gar, I have to get rid of my spotted gar, and a few other fish along with my 180 gal, as the tank is too much for upstairs apartment life,lost my job and can't make my bills anymore, so just downgrading my entire lifestyle at this point in time, I may even have to get rid of a 75 gal and my 3 gulpers, but doubt ill have to part with those, I only plan on maintaining a 55 and hope to put a few blue cetopsis in there, anybody looking for a 10" spotted gar or an 8" pacu in northern indiana feel free to message me the pacu is free and ill take offers on the gar, not looking for much, would rather see them go to a good home than back to some 20 gallon in a lfs, ill probaly post these fish in the classifieds sometime sooner or later

well received my blue cetopsis cat today, in great shape and he never quits moving, almost exhausting watching him, ordered him from snookn21, great guy to do business with, would definatly recommend ordering from him and he has great stock too, anyways ill try to get some pics up sometime, and am gonna try to keep him with some doradids and plecos, see if it works, hopefully won't have to many problems with only having the single specimen, if not ill have to try to get more, what are you housing your blue shark with griff?

Hi all

I've ordered three of them and just one was in stock for now, which will be picked up Saturday...
The other two will be available for me in 2/3 weeks so he has to be alone for a short while.

I'm very excited to see him/her swimming in my tank and I hope I'm doing it right.
I found a video about them in a (too) small tank and some others:

This is my tank waiting for them:

(video is a week old, now I have some fake plants added to it)

The only experience I have is a Malawi Cichlid Tank for 2 years...

I'm not sure about the right temperature... in the wild they found one in water that was 27C (82F) degrees.
As far as I know, they need dimmed lightning, a strong current and lots of oxygen.

I've paid EUR35=$46 in the Netherlands (a long way from it's natural habitat) and getting the first from 3 in a couple of hours from now.
They are hard to get here.
