any recommendation for small catfish

[Jdmxluv]

looking for small catfishes that are good bottom feeders. had clown loaches but they outgrew my tank. id appreciate any comments. thanks.

corydoras catfish are terrific bottom-feeders, and readily available in all LFS and major petstore chains . . .

if your tank is big enough -- 55G or more -- you might also consider yo-yo loaches; these don't get anywhere near as big as clown loaches, and they have a lot of personality

in either case, try to get at least 3 or 5 of whichever one you go for; they do better when they are in small shoals . . . and, apparently, in odd numbers

porthole cats need groups but theyre great fish. you could also try a holpo cat (gets to ebout 7").

Syno Petricola cats stay small, are gorgeous and mine is super active. Cory Cats are always a good choice, too.

Pictus are cool in a pack though.

I'd go with pictus also. Full of personality and they never stop moving.

I second that!

Plenty of little cats out there. How big is the tank? Are you looking for just a bottom feeder regardless if it's active or not? Tankmates?
