Bottom Feeder Suggestions

[BGKAuatics]

I have a 150g and I need a couple bottom feeders. I love the synodontis and the pictus cats. But I’m just wondering if I’m missing something. The stocking contains * all the fish are under 6” at the moment * a JD, Salvini Chacamax, Blood Parrot, and will have a Vieja Gutt. X JD cross and another JD in the future. I don’t really want a pleco either. The tank has a Fx6 and a airbrick and a AC 110 if I end up needing it. The tank also contains a Spotted Gar at the moment I’m just growing it out for now until he can go into my friends 500g great little fish honestly I wish I could keep him but I do need a couple bottom feeders for the tank but no plecos or loaches.

I got Catness from The Wet Spot, they just sold off the last one so should be getting some more in soon. I was thinking of grabbng it, the last one but heard singles are better than a pair, unless you go to a school size. That's too many for a 125 so I didn't get it.

I love pictus and synodontis also. I would get 5 pictus and a few syno. That's just me Pictus are awesome. If it wasn't for bigger fish in my tank I would get them in a hearbeat.
I also really like the Raphaels and they usually won't get in anyone's way during the daytime.

Could I say BGK or A Elephant Nose Catfish if you like Weird fish.

Haha I actually currently am growing a BGK out in a 75 for it possibly I had mixed luck with a elephant nose fish one was super interactive and personable but the other super reclusive and my family is anti Bichir even the Ornate so I think the catfish are the safest route
