hello people, i have a 7ft x 2.6ft x 2.6ft tank (approx 220 uk gallon) with a 70 uk gallon sump, combined water volume 290 uk gallons. i have 1 peacock bass,2 parrot fish, 1 flowerhorn 1 black belt and a african pike. i would like a bottom feeder that wont grow to big and i dont like plecos. anyone have any ideas please
 
I think he means the flowerhorn and the black belts are more aggressive than the bass.

The catfish is not aggressive but very predatory...anything half the length of the catfish will probably be a bulge in the catfish sooner or later :)

yeah iv just parted with a tsn x rtc because of that reaason,was hoping there was something to eat the food that sits at the bottom to save me having to net it out.
 
Larger synodontus catfish is good for you...or if you don't mind expensive, large clown loaches will also work...anything above 5 inches and cichlid probably won't bother them(maybe with the exception of the bass if it is big enough to swallow the loach)
