Hey everyone,
Need some ideas for schooling fish and a catfish for a 180gal.

I am going to set up this tank to showcase my two EBJDs and a Platinum JD.

I would really like a tigrinus but I don't think its streamers would be OK with the Jack's and such.

But any ideas are welcome! Im looking forward to the suggestions

Rainbowfish are pretty and they look amazing in large schools. LOTS of options for catfish: a variety if doradids, larger auchenipterids, lots of different pimelodids, Icatulrids (specifically bullheads), larger synodontis, and lots of other fun cats. PM me if you want a gigantic list of possible catfish because I could rant on for days about how awesome of a fish they are!

That jaguar catfish is awesome! I read they do well in schools...so cool! 3 or 4 swimming around.

Do you think those would eat the rainbow fish?

So stoked!

I have found that the giant danios I got 4-5 months ago are great schoolers and almost always stay on the top layer of the tank. No other dithers I have kept have been as active and stayed on top like these guys have. The only downside is a very mellow/bland color.

Ii really like the irian red rainbow fish for my schooling fish. Way more color.

I can't find any jaguar catfish for sale, I really like their patterns and size is good. Trying to find another kind we like that gets no bigger than 10" but all the cool ones get huge!
