Says it in the title. Are CL ok to put with Festae? The LFS sales them at about 2" +/-. I don't want my cl to be Festae food!

I keep a school of 7 c/l's with My Festae growouts they are doing fine ...for now ...That could change at any time I suppose. C/l's should be kept in groups though. So I.M.O. get 3 or more.
 
I read that cl and tin foil barbs make a good clean up crew? Any better suggestions? I'm trying to steer clear of plecos (poop machines) because of their ability to create a major bio load.

I was thinking a cat of some sort but I want to make it/them a little hideaway den that the Festae can't get into. Of course as the cat grows I'll have to make the entrance larger. I'm thinking a piece of slate (about 12"x12") supported by columns (rocks, wood, pvc, etc.) strong enough to not let it move. I'll have to make sure it's secure so it won't fall and bust tank or kill a fish :eek:
