Striped raphael cats or pictus cats?

[FluffySackson]

For a 240 gallon cichlid tank.
a pair of pictus cats or raphael cats as the cleanup crew?

That depends. Do you want a hyperactive non stop cleanup crew or a crew that only comes out at night and is rarely seen.

Striped raphs, thyre not as active but they're better with cichlids because of they're lateral spines IME.

They are both in my 125. Rarely see the striped raphael. Pictus hides half the day but is going crazy when hes out. I dont know that they clean much.

The pictus cats might get picked on but the striped raphael will hide inside a crevice and rarely come out if it can find a crevice. I would suggest synodontis catfish.

Trying to stick with South/Central American species just to give my tank a little theme to it.

If you want one of the two I would pick raphael catfish.
