You good get some Banjo Cats, those'll grow to about 6" and they like to burrow, also, you could probably put a channel catfish in it until he's too big. Both those fish like having sand in their tank.

Yeah banjo's are a good idea, some grow to 12" e.g. Aspredo cotylephorus

However these are very docile peaceful fish, are your cichlids boistrous?

yeah banjo cats look class although they arnt very colouful, they look really interesting though

my cichlids arnt boisterous, the convicts are at the minute cos the babies are in a hole n theyre protecting them but im guna get rid of the cons as theyre 2 aggresive for the others, the only fish the convicts havnt bothered is the black ghost knife which i was really worried about, its even been right next to the eggs n the cons didnt do nowt

are these the banjo cats u mean ???
