I have recently got my 220 gallon tank(72x24x30) out of storage. My home renovation is finally over. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for any type of busy catfish say five or six.
 
corydoras
 
Dont think he was thinking of something as small as a cory for a tank that size

What about pim pictus I think that's the name

Sorry I can't be of much more help as I only research the fish I like and want to keep
 
If you keep african cichlids...or any fish that are not super predatory, a school of say 12 S. Multipuntatus(6 inches) are wonderful additions.

Only down side is that they are not super cheap...
 
well if not corys try synodontis species for a african tank..
 
if you want smaller fish go with cories, if yo want larger south american fish go with pictus, if you want africans go with synodontis
 
featherfin sqeakers are cool if you like synos. Or you could go with ID sharks, which are cool schooling.

But if you went with corydoras you could get like a hundred of them. THAT would be awesome. Then maybe discus or angels, everybody likes them (except, I'm not a big fan of angels)
 
What about candiru species? not the parasitic ones but the "whale catfish" varieties. You couldn't really keep anythign else with them, as they are swarming killers, but they are open water schoolers that live in big groups, and only get about 6 in long
