150 gallon tank, what catfish will fit?

[Chinnavar]

I recently bought a second hand 6x2x2 tank which is practically brand new for a good price.

I wanted to put 2 oscars in it and a small school of spotted SD's. Now I was wondering if there is room for a cool catfish, I was thinking about raphaels or maybe pictus'.

But then again I dont know if it will be overcrowded or not, what do you guys think?

That is actually a 180g, oscars are asshats so I dont really know what makes decent tank mates with them lol.

Oh lol, she sold it off as a 150G, haven't seen the tank irl yet since i'll be picking it up tomorrow lol. If I put the tanks dimensions in the tank calculator it says the tank is a 170G.

But yeah, I don't want them chocking to death on anything too small and I don't think it's a good idea to put a giant catfish in it.

Pim blochii, ornates, bolt, lima and sturio are good options. Larger wood cats and jag catfish as well although you may not see them till lights out.

Agree with kno4te. Don't want anything over 1-1.5' could try nemurus, Synos, Asian USD cat.

All good options above, nemurus, ornate pim and Lima would be my three to pick from. ...
Or a nice royal pleco?

I actually fell in love with the L095, but the chance that i will ever find one close enough for me to buy it is really, really slim sadly.

I'll take a look around if I can find any of the above mentioned cats around, my LFS dont have any cats except corys and a huge clarias batrachus.

Will get to large. Besides I think bolts look better, but that's an opinion.

I really like the look of the bolts, they really remind me of a shark haha. Is there anything I need to look out for when it comes to scaping the tank if i'll get one of those?
