Catfish

[Fish Bones]

Is there a type of catfish that stays kind of small but does a good job of cleaning up the tank bottom ?

Pictus or porthole catfish do well.

Vulture

Probably gotta mention how small you looking for Fish Bones ?

Im trying to decide on a tank size right now. Im leaning toward a 75 gal. which should allow future expansion into other species later.

What kind of "cleaning up" are you looking for the catfish to do?

 

[celebrist]

when you say cleaning up the tank bottom, what type of fish do you plan to have above the cat (s). the type of detritus makes a difference on what type of cat you would want.

While this may work out accidentally, I thought I'd still mention that, just like any wet pet, catfish also deserves a right and balanced and healthy diet. Some, not saying you would, treat them like garbage disposals, which they are not.

This is just what I was leading up to with my post.

"Small" is pretty subjective. What size do you have in mind?

Edit: Just loaded the earlier replies and realized it's already been asked.
