Hi all, the missuss has decided she really likes catfish, yay!
In our 60l tank we have 5 peppered cories, and 2 baby hoplos at present.
We would like a more 'showy' catfish, that would be comfortable in a tank with bog wood, stained water, live plants and good water flow.
I was intrigued by the Pim-pictus, (after seeing them for £6) but decided this was a no no, due to eventual size and predatory tendancies (also the fact they should be in a group of 3 or so). But we did love the look of that fish. Im tempted by synodontis alberti as a possible idea, but am up for any suggestions you might have that arent plecs (dont want any small plecs, yet, not until the tank is fully established plants wise). Upside cats seem interesting, but I don't think there would be space enough for a shoal of 3 in my tank....
Any ideas (p.s. I would LUUuuurve som C. Pygmaeous or similar, but cand find them anywhere!).
