Bulldog Catfish:

3)Algae Wafers is recommended including the vegetables.
4)No.

Hey quan,
1)the most it will grow is under 2 inches
2)They eat vegetables so im assuming so?
3)Food made for algae eaters. If not, then supplement with a vegetable-based flake or wafer food.
4)Don't think so
5)They should since they're algae eaters.
