LOL stingrays would be fantastic but definitely not on the list right now. If I spend a bunch of money on anything, it's on the next giant tank upgrade first. I think I may just wait a few months and see how quickly he grows before I make a decision. If I buy clown loaches now, and he all of a sudden hits 7" in say 3-4 months, and I could have had a shovelnose instead I may have regrets. I'll do the smart thing and hang on for a bit before I buy. I'll have this ATF for the long term, so I need to make a long term decision on the cat as well, since I'm fairly certain it'll just be the 2 of them in the tank besides maybe a small school of dithers at any given time.
So is a lima shovelnose a good fit here, or is my original thought on a larger synodontis a better fit? I would be waiting until he was at least 8-9" for the shovelnose (and it would be a smaller one), so I would think the idea of him being a threat is not on the table at this point.
