Answers

1. I have never had one but saw it at store.

2. The store manager told me that they get about 10" in an aquarium.

3. Not really, just what a typical catfish would need, sinking catfish pellets, bloodworms etc.

Thats most of the info I can tie you up with. They are not very hard fish to keep.
