Whiptail Catfish

Hello all,

Is it compatible to have 2 or more whiptail catfish in 1 tank? Being a 320
litre tank.

How big do these fella's get? Some sites say 20cm, some say 30cm and some
say 10-15. Kinda confused. Maybe if I pin-point my exact Whiptail special I
could get a better idea.

The one I have at the moment looks identical to this one(just some different
colorations) : http://basic1.easily.co.uk/01501B/05...il_catfish.jpg

Very very thing tail. Can someone ID the exact whiptail species from that
picture?

Thanks in advance.

Very hard to tell, your pic is better than most of these... There are
several that look close, but I'm no expert....

As I was taking pictures of Whippy, Clowny ( I know original names hey) who
is 1 of my 3 Clown Loaches decided to come out and eat the pellets I was
giving Whippy. He did something I have never seen before. Clowny picked up
the pellet food and was doing laps around the tank! It was quite amusing
with the other 2 following him around! Finally got some Clown Loaches that
are not shy. They are only 1-1 1/2 inch atm, so hopefully they will grow up
like that and not stay hidden!

Here is pics of Clowny:
