Yesterday visited lfs and saw a beautiful fish "Flagtail Catfish." Online search said large PH range and peacful with both same family and other species. Anybody here have any experience with this fish. Would love to consider getting one...pricey though.

I've never kept them, but they have a reputation of being difficult to acclimate and potentially very nervous, but reasonally OK if they go through acclimation without problems. They do apparently need to be kept in groups. They only get to about 6" TL so 90 lb in weight is not feasible!
