What's The Largest Cory Like Catfish?

[snowflake311]

This summer I will be setting up a 125 gal for my SA cichlids. I would like some large corys 3-4" my largest fish could get to be 10" so I don't want anything too small and tasty. Any ideas as to what could work. I was thinking Maybe Pimelodus cat but corys are so much fun.

What do you guys think.

Brochis Splendens?

A bigger version of a bronze cory, should be perfect for what you want.

i also was going to reccomend some brochis, they look almost exactly the same as cories, and probably act the same, just they are bigger.

I like the Brochis multiradiatus but they like many coys need cool water 68-72f humm I keep my cichlid tank at 74f so I don't know if they are a good idea now. Thanks guys.

I think a "Hoplo Catfish" could work well. I just read up on them interesting fish.

Depending where you get your info from, Brochis multiradiatus can go up to 24C or 75.2F
