Cat fish for tanks mates

[nicholas76]

Those who are in the know with cat fish


can you suggest some nice species of cat fish to compliment a discus tank ( the look of the tank is that of a typical river bed, lots of logs, minimal plant growth sandy bottom )

I really find bristle nose boring and the albino variation are dull to look at I find.

is there a cat fish that say grows to about 5-6 inch with great colouring? tried the cat web site but im finding a passion for all the exotic stuff we generally cant find.

Peppermints

I rekon peppermints aswell Nick, but with some extra bling bling and some searching a couple of gold nugget pleco's would look stunning!

peppermints are good.

if you would like a pleco i would suggest a nice clown pleco or 2. they dont grow to big. under 20cm i think it is and have a great nature.

are you after algae eating cats or cats to pick up the left overs (cory's)

[nicholas76]

peppermints seem the go.


ill have to research these gold nuggest plecos! thanks Ben

goldenpigeon im not too fussed, probably more concerned with algae on the glass than than anything else.

anyone got a pleco pic or two for me!

cheers gang

Nick , try ottocinclus ( spelling?) or whiptail catfish.
They're very good at cleaning alage on glass.

hey Nick,
if you would like i will send you a zebra pleco or 2 for $750 each. (not including shipping)

or a royal pleco of around $500

call me

No thanks Golden pigeon

Peppermints will be the go.

But I must admit these gold nuggets are a gem!

[goldenpigeon]

lol it was a joke mate

[nicholas76]

im not sure what your cat fish would be worth mate, hence the polite politically correct reply
