I just bought my first upside down catfish yesterday, and only got one of them (in conjunction with several other types of fish) based on the fact that the salesperson at the store said that just getting one of him would be okay. I've since been googling around, and have seen in a couple of places that they're actually schooling fish. :? Are they?
At the risk of overcrowding the tank, and squeezing in one more fish, should I buy him a friend? Or will he be happy enough by himself? I have several cory catfish so he's not the only catfish in the tank, but figure that because they're so different, it's probably NOT like having another upside down catfish to keep him company.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

(ps: yes, I'm a board newbie, hi, howareya! but will officially introduce myself in the Welcome Wagon thread after I get home from work tonight and have more time. But I may be in a position to buy a second fish tonight, if I need one, so wanted to post the question asap. Thnx.)
