most africans will work with bristlenose, you could try a pictus also i have a pictus with my red zebra,kenyi 6 labs and 2 fronts

cluster you got picture of your pictus and will one of them get along with bristlenose catfish

 

[cluster]

im not real sure on pictus and bristlenose getting along id say yes...some others might have diff things to add

ok i read up on the pictus catfish it said they grow to 5inches and so does the bristlenose catfish the bristlenose catfish are bottom feeders they controll the algae and will also eat vegies. what does the pictus catfish eat do you know.

ok thats werid i'm just doing some research on them and i came across a site that says they grow 10inches do you know how big they grow cause i'm confused i have came across 4 sites that say they grow to 5inches and 1 says they grow 10inches long.
