can someone give me a list of smaller catfish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
But this is very broad. What exactly are you looking for? Silurids? Doradids? Plecos? Corydoras? Bagrids?
 
um I'm not sure I'm a newbie with catfish. all i know is i have seen larger catfish and some at petco and petsmart that are pretty small. i think i need too do some research.

but catfish in general?
 
Pimelodids? Pimelodella? Clarotiedids? I think just about every family has cats that grow under 12". Oops i dont think pangasidae... but i could be wrong.
 
Pictus cats are good start.

Raphaels: Striped and spotted

corydoras

theres a few mystus that are fun
M. castaneus
M. vittatus

What size is your tank?
What is the stock already?

These will help us assist you to the proper fish for you.
 
get a lima. what size tank are we talking about? gulpers grow to 12'', and so do lima's. syno cats.
 
A list of your fish would be a good start, as a lot of cat's are predatory, so your have to fit your cat's round your fish.:)

Good point. Make a list of the fish you really want apart from catfish so we can then suggest afterwards which catfish really fits your criteria.

I'm picking up a 50G tank this Thursday it will be my first fish tank.
I'm everywhere with the fish right now. i like the smaller catfish they look amassing. i might end up getting some sort of catfish.
