hi i have a 55 set up with a few fish and pictus cats p. pictus i think thay get like 4-5 inches? i was wondering what other cat i could put in there i really like lima shovel nose but its only a 55 planetcatfish says that you could put three in a 50 but i dont now if thay ment for life i also saw p. maculatus and p. ornatus if i cant get a shovel nose which one of these would hunt down fish more or which is more active
thanks for any advice
 
Lima shovelnoses get about 24" or so.

You could get a porthole shovelnose I think they get about 10" or so. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. I forget the scientific name.
 
porthole shovelnose whould that be duopalatinus peruanus ?
