Hey all you cat guys, can you recommend a cat fish to go with an Oscar pair Ina standard 125g?,one that doesn't get huge but showy looking,thanks

No advice?, np.

I would say a raphael, but they hide a lot so you won't see it ever. Or a featherfin catfish, might get away with it in a 125g, mine beat up my Oscar in my 90g though :/

Lima shovelnose.
I can't recommend these cats enough. I absolutely love mine. She's in a 120 with my Oscar pair. They pretty much ignore each other. They don't get as big as other cats. Pretty active during the day too for a cat. Beautiful fish.

some lima hit 2ft so no good for your tank, another option is ornate pimlodus get 11 inch and are awesome.

True. Sorubim Lima can reach 2 ft although it's rare in the aquarium. However sorubim elongatus, a different species of Lima shovelnose maxes out at about 12 inches.

I love mine. I got her when she was around 4 inches. Only 6 months later and she's at 12 inches! They grown pretty quick.
