i was thinking of setting up a catfish tank. do you guys have any recommendations on how many fish and what kinds? right now i have stripped raphael cat, four lines pimodella, and banjo cat. i want all cats that get more than 6" but not bigger than 12". since alot of these cats like to remain in hiding, do you think it will stress them being thrown in an open community catfish tank like im planning?

after looking through catfish, i also like the marble achara, black devil cat, and jaguar cat. it doesnt look like the devil cat will fit though, but the jaguar might be ok with enough territorys. im set on the marble achara though and want to know what would be good for it. also, does anyone know how big the biggest albino corys get? ive loved this fish since my parents had a tank and we moved, and all the fish died because my father never set the tank up again, but we had this little albino cory who survived for weeks in 2 inches of water. i was so sad and wanted to save him but had no money and knew nothing about fish tanks at the time. i am planning on putting all these cats in a 90 gal, 48" long, 18" wide, 24" high
i think i didnt post correctly. i dont actually have any of these catfish. i am just getting ideas of what would work together. my plan is just to get a bunch of catfish that dont get bigger than 12" in a 90 gal and make it a tank of multiple catfish species. i think im set on marble achara though, even though its bigger than a foot. would it kill smaller species? right now im thinking of a marble, a few 4 line pimodella, 2-3 striped raphael, and maybe some convicts.
get black bullhead cats, i have about 7 and there great. they dont get bigger than 14" and you can net them in the wild easily. mine are about 2-3" right and are in a 10g to go into a pond.
