Fish That Go Well With A Pictus

[ladybugbzzzz]

Hi,
I just got a 70 gallon oceanic tank and was wondering what kind of other fish would be recommended with pictus catfish? I have some Barbs (will have 6) already. I like the kuhlii loaches, but am unsure if they would do well together? I am also looking for a middle to top swimmer that would go good with some pictus'. I am still cycling my tank and would like some ideas to go research a bit, before any fish go into the tank.
Thank you!
Jade

Pictus catfish are predatory and will grow up to about 7". You need to choose something that won't fit into it's mouth so anything over about 2" should be fine.
We keep ours with Bleeding Heart tetras, Congo Tetras, Pentazona Barbs, Ticto Barbs, Keyhole Cichlids and a few bottom dwellers. They are all fine together and we've had no problems with chasing etc.
