Lace cats are in the synodontis family. They are primarily noctunral, with occassionaly forays out during the day. Feeding just before lights out will help ensure the fish gets enough to eat. Not sure what their size estimates could be--probably 3-5 inches, I think. For feeding them, offer a variety of meaty and veggie matter--look into a quality sinking wafer, such as the bio-wafer line.
I feed mine shrimp pellets, nutrafin max freeze dried tablets (they have krill, tubifex worms, bloodworms, etc), nutrafin max sinking complete food tablets (they have squid, and lots of other things), freeze dried brine shrimp, and he or she also eats any flakes that go in its cave. Ive tried feeding algae wafers but it doesnt seem to like them. It is about 5 - 6 inches long.
