I may be wrong but I think you wont be able to buy cat fish in aquarium store pretty soon. I'll have to look into where I read it but someone started a movement to have them removed from stores because inmost cases people don't know now to care for them when they out grow their tank and the fish eventually die.

pacu and redtails should be outlawed to sell in stores. you don't want a redtail either. lazy, boring fish that eat anything they can fit in their mouths.
