Default if i put a sun catfish in a 55gal will he stop growing? or out grow the fish tank?

can i put 2 white tips in?
by white tips i mean 2 white tip catfish. i have the sun catfish in a 10 gal right now i will get the 55gal but can i put 2 white tips with him?
what do you mean back in the water i got him at petsmart not a lake. its a dam eclipse/sun catfish
maybe instead a puctus catfish i bit smaller how many of those would be good in the 55gallon tank?

If he grows to his potential he would probably need a bigger tank then 55 gallons. Reason being is a 55 is only 12 inches wide, he wouldn't be able to turn around. He will be fine for a while though. As for the the white tips...they are actually brackish and can get quite large.
