Any advice on these fish for tankmates with 3 mystus vittatus
1 schilbe intermedius( grasscutter cat)
2 trachelyopterus fisheri( fisher's wood cat)
3 pseudopimelodus bufonius( giant bumble bee cat)
4 liosomadoras oncinus ( jaguar cat)
5 ageneiosus magoi(slopehead cat)
6 horabgrus brachysoma( sun or solor cat)
any advice, personal experience with any of these cats would be greatful. Will be in a 125 gal planted tank. Are these easy to get in the U.S.?
 
i love my sun cat, mostly peaceful, likes his hiding spot, will eat anything that fits in his mouth and some things that don't, never really had any problems with him. Should reach anywhere between 18in and 2ft. native to the mekong river and surrounding area.
 
maybe I should remove that from the list as the mystus I have only get to 8.3 in so would probably become food but is the only one I can find in town already and on tag say 6 in max at petsmart I will take planetcatfish max size of 18 in a little more seriously. Thanks for the reply.

I think the sun cats wold be fine, they grow to around 6 inches pretty fast, but after that they slow way way down, and it would take a long time for them to even reach a foot, so I think you'd be safe
 
ok got 2 sun cats in a 10 gal to grow a bit as the are only like 2 in or so. Are any of the others from my list ok and what is my likliness of finding any of them? Got 4 bumble bee's today but are the sa kind so too small for the 125.
