Hello,
I am very new to this hobby, but really enjoying it so far. So I have a 29 gallon bow front tank and have a few fish in it. Currently I have 3 lamp eye tetras, one black molly, a pair of balloon belly mollies, one pictus catfish and one silver tipped shark. I bought the catfish at the same time on the recommendation of the pet store I was at. I was told they they will remain fairly small and are great community freshwater fish. :headshake2: I really enjoy my catfish but have seen some information about them that makes me think twice about having them in my tank...I am not prepared for getting a larger tank anytime soon and do not want to turn my tank into a brackish one. All of my fish are getting along great so I'm not quite sure if I should return both catfish or just keep them how it is. I would LOVE any suggestions you have since all of you have much more experience than I do.
