    Default best predatory catfish for 55?

    hello, I'm new to keeping predatory catfish and would like to know what species would do best in a 55 gallon. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

    Tbh you dont have many choices.... Because the 55 is very narrow compared to the volume. Striped raph cat is semi preditorial but youll likely never she it... All i see is the tail of mine every now and then

    Drifting off on a tangent... hows the availability of rhinogobius in the states? It's a micro predator and lives on the bottom. A 55 gallon could be made in a lovely habitat for some of those.

    Would the bumble bee be compatible with any other fish?

    Hatchets would stay away from the cats.... Zebras might work too because they are super fast...
