i bought these sun cats to grow out and put in my new tank ive been planning, but today i bought a 6 inch jaguar catfish so the suns are no longer required. they are about 2.5-3 inches including tail and are very healthy and eating well. ive had them about a month and had no issues with them except a small bit of dominace behaviour. they have been split up for a week and now back together and are happy. i paid about £10 for the pair and as i no longer have room for them ill sell them for £6.
 
just got a couple of pics of them. they are very active so please excuse the slightly blurred shots....

What size will these grow to Matt?......
thats a tricky one... there seems to be a very mixed answer to this. going on what ive read i would say about 10 inches ish! in the wild they get bigger but ive known a few people that have kept them and they have never got above about 8-9 inches. they will grow to about 4-5 inches quite fast if fed right but then they slow right down and may take a while to get to full size.
some websites state 6 inches max which i know isnt true and some say 16 inches but i think this is in the wild so i would go somewhere inbetween at about 10. beautifull fish when bigger with great colouration which is why i wanted them. you will also see these fish especially at feeding time unlike some cats.
 
Again, okay in my new tank? Don't want them eating my Corys!!!
