Hi

My beautyfull catfish Acanthicus adonis (almost 25 cm long) lives with my 3 Oscars, and I realy love him, But I have fallen in love with a L169 Panaque. All I can se on the net, is that Panaque and Adonis can live together, but the L169 is only 6-7 cm long.
Do you all think it can be done without murder?

Hugs Mrs A

catfish are not really my specialty but i do know that an adonis can grow to three feet in lengh and an L169 only grows to about 4 inches.

i'm not sure about the chances of cohabition between the two but im sure someone here will be able to help you out

What's your tank size?

Adonis get HUGE, some at up to four feet, while panaque are fairly small as far as plecos go.

I think you could do it- if you had a big enough tank.

i beleive i read in another of your posts that you have a 100 gallon tank. unfortunetly i dont think this is large enough for your adonis in the long run. these cats can grow very large so you might have to consider either rehoming him or getting a larger aquarium.

Not to worry, I´m looking for one twice the size. My husband whnts a malawi-tank and the 100 gallon would do find as that.
So as soon as I find a bigger tank I´ll move them all.
