Anyone have any tips or tricks on this? I am interested in getting 1 for my 85g. Any spots to try to get one would be great and any other info on keeping one alive in a tank would be great.

300g won't do it. Believe me. You'll need much more. I don't think it's really worth it in the long run unless you raise and keep him/her in at least 800g. (S)He won't be able to even turn around in a 300g, and with their big appetites and the resultant waste...well, yeah."Millennium hand and shrimp!"

That will be super overstocked. Think LMB are messy? You're talking about one of the largest catfish in the states, haha. The minimum size limit on a flathead is 18 inches... and the mouth is already huge at that size. Everything else in there will be a snack even at that size.
40, did you read the responses to your last post in this same forum? I gave some advice there. I would plan on sticking to sunfish with maybe a single bullhead or a few madtom catfish. You can read a lot of good stocking advice at the NANFA forum - http://forum.nanfa.org.

Ok, Theres another one I forgot the name, shouldn't assume when giving advice, my bad.
If the tank is 13" wide, then yes, it won't work with sunfish, grown turning.radius will be gone.
Stick with lfs until you can get a huge and I mean huge tank, 700g + then you can have your native.tank.FRENCH FRY!!!

I had a stripped bass & a goggle-eye (rock bass) in my 2000 gallon pond at one time........had to release them back to the wild, too much trouble to keep them fed, even with free June bugs in the spring. Bream did well & still thrive, even have one I hand feed but the guys are right, they need room to turn on a full run and those small tanks just wont do.- 2000g Outdoor Pond w/ WC Texas Cichlids
