Adding a Cat to established tank?

[Stevenm1]

I have a 180G tank with 1 8in Oscar, 1 7in Chocolate, 1 4in Severum, 1 5in Grenn Terror, and 5 Silver Dollars. I wanted to add 1 Synodontis Decorus Catfish to this tank, do you think they would bother him or leave him alone because he is a non cichlid and probabley wont try to claim a territory? The cat might be on the smaller side to, maybe 3in at best. This tank has been established for over a year, what do you guys think? Thanks

My only concern would be the O trying to snag a catsnack.

for a 180, it should do fine, some fish might nip at it but i doubt it will get bullied around much

^exactly. Make sure he's got a lil catfish sized hidey hole just in case, and feed everyone first before you put him in there. Keep an eye on that tank closely though.

I think you would be fine too, Synodontis are no slouch by any means and if you pick one up with a little size on it there should be no worries.

Thanks guys, will try to get one with some size.
