Mine is also in a 29. The aquarium store told me that I should have a 55 because they get huge but mine stopped growing like two years ago.
I would like to ask anyone if they know if this website takes down threads that are not fish related. I started a thread talking about if red eared slider turtles are compatible with catfish and it disappeared 10 minutes after I started it.
Thank you and can you tell me what my profile picture is for some reason it is not appearing.
I only have a spotted
Haha true I would love a tank full of spotted ones. I hear they like friends. When I upgrade ill probably get 2 or 3 more spotted.
I almost got one for my 20g on impulse They're awesome though, may get one in the future. Also that pleco in the back of the picture is pretty. Is it your picture? Is that a gold nugget pleco?
Raphael catfish are very good tank mates but they prefer to be around other Raphael catfish. The photo you saw is mine. In the background you see a vampire pleco that I bought at Big Al's aquarium store. I used to have my Raphael and my pleco in a 20 gallon aquarium. The started fighting a lot and I could not do anything about it. One day I decided to buy a 29 gallon aquarium and upgrade my old tank. After I did this my Raphael and pleco cooled down a bit because they had more space. I would recommend only getting one catfish for your 20. In my opinion you should buy the Raphael striped catfish because there a lot cheaper than the vampire plecos which are $79.99 and the Raphael striped catfish are only $6.99. The only thing you have to worry about when putting a Raphael in a 20 gallon aquarium is size.
That will definitely be ok. Cory catfish are excellent for the aquarium. They don't get huge like most catfish and are very good natured. I have 3 of them in my aquarium. The harlequin rasboras a cool as well. These are 2 of my Cory catfish.
