Even
though this is a stunning catfish, as an adult it is not really
a fish for the home aquarium, as it will need to be housed in
a huge tank as it will get very nervous and will try to escape
the confines of the aquarium if its barbels can touch the both
sides of the glass sides at the same time, so it would need to
be a least 7' 0" long by 24" in width. If you are able
to accommodate these requirements you will need a well covered
tank with dim lighting, floating plants may help here, with strong
external filtration and caves for cover. Large smooth rounded
boulders and branches would complete the aquascape.
