What Catfish Can I Get In A 240l

[Nick16]

hi, i will have a planted 240l with a fair amount of plants as im having decent light, pressuized co2 and powdered ferts.
what i want to know is what catfish i can have. i already have 2 clown plecs. i would like a BN and something else like a whiptail or gold nugget (L088 not L177) or both. what can i fit in. the tank is a rectangle not a tall tank. its 120cm long, 40 wide and 50 high.
i know i will need lots of hiding places but any info would be great. i like the look of algae eating plecs like the BN and the L088. (it does eat some!!!) oh and lastly i will have plenty of wood!

L088 is an ancistrus not a gn do you mean L018 / L081/ L085?

depending on the gn you mean, they get a fair bit bigger than clown plecs and a couple of inches bigger than the bn
I think that you could easily accomodate the clowns, a whiptail and one of either the BN or GN, but two may be pushing it for territories

my fault it is an L081.
Big pig that is a massive help cheers.

i like the shape of the whiptail, but i know how long it gets. but i also like the BN's algae eating capabilities and the Gold Nuggets looks. and i already have 2 clown plecs so they will be moving from the 120l to the 240. i think i might get (along side the clowns) 1 BN and one L081, as i dont know much about the whiptail, maybe thats for the future. although they had vampire plecs and pekolitas!!
