Compatible for a 10g

[James From Cali]

Would 2 Upside Dwon Catfish be fine in my 10g? Also how big do they get. Any information about them will be apreciated.

 

[Igor The Cat]

no, they need at least a 20gal long, as they can get to 4".

cheers

"Setup

They grow to an adult maximum of only 4 inches long, so a 20-gallon tank or larger will give them plenty of room to grow, thrive, and behave much as they would in nature. Outfit this tank with plenty of foliage and wood. Living plants such as swords, hornwort, anacharis, or species from the Cabomba genus work well and provide plenty of vertical structure within the tank. The main purpose of structure within the upside-down catfish tank is to simulate the dense streams from which these cats come, for they tend to fare better in naturalistic surroundings."

I googled all the places said 10g's so I thought I'd make sure.

Just to note, I've got an upside down cat pushing 6"...

Wow. Thanks guys. While Im on this thread I was thinking neons are just too close of the same color of my betta so would a few(4 or 5) Glowlights or Rasboras be fine in my tank?

 

[CAPSLOCK]

It would depend on the temperment of the betta... if he tends to flare a lot, then they are likely to be chased, but if he's more passive then they'd be fine.

Okay. He never flares except when he gets fed. I got three for right now and I will get a few more next month.
