I need catfish recommendation

[Breakthecycle2]

I have two plecos (common, I think) that I did not realize would get so big. I need two or three catfish for a 20 gallon tank. The only thing is, I have 3 Kribs and tetras in there, so I would need something compatable.

Are you getting rid of the big plecs (giving to someone else or returning to a LFS?). If so for a 20Gallon the only commonly available plecs that would be reccomended are Bristlenose, Rubbernose and Clown Plec.

If you just want a different type of catfish then obviously corys would do fine, but if you dont like them then Porthole catfish are different, fairly active and don't grow big (about 4-5").

Cory;s are ok with Kribs?

Absolutely fine. Corys are ok with most things really. If you have too many bottom feeders (loaches etc.) they can get picked on but other than that they get on with anything thats not big enough to try to want to eat them.
