my poly are get along quite well with group of raphael catfish (A.K.A platydoras or humbed catfish) and also with my albino brushmouth pleco. they always swim together nor grouping in the corner of the tank.
(but maybe when poly gets to big, i'll remove the catfishes)


125 G
2 x 6" albino senegals
2 x 6" P. Endlicherii
1 x 4" brushmouth pleco
4 x 1" platydoras (raphael catfish)

after a year in captivity

note: size ratios does matter!!!

Id say no... specially with that flat bullhead. Polys are just like big worms to cats...

and Id say absolutely no to an RTC unless its a 3" RTC with a 10"+ Poly....
Usual rule of thumb... if you even wonder if the poly can fit in the cats mouth... it will most likely end up there... You could probably keep them with some synodontis or other smaller mouthed more docile cats...
