[r.zanello]

Hey,

i am soliciting anyone's with stocking my 90gal. I love redtail cats but my tank is clearly two small. what would be a good option for a standard 4ft 90gal.

several featherfin catfish, grow to around 6-8", very active fish, make sure you have driftwood in your tank

I would definetly recomend gulpers... if you want the setup only for them they eat whatever they can if you have community i would recomend raphaels, pictus, or sydontis like clown or featherfin synos

I assume your footprint is 4'x1.5' and your question is "for life", which IMO means your cat should not exceed 9" TL. If you like the pim look, browse through the family http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/family.php?family_id=15 or e.g. the Pimelodus genus http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=101 to see which ones stay under 9". Then consider availability and price too.

Cats like gulper are specialty cats, which with you usually have something to see only during feeding time.


Consider this pim-like family too Heptapteridae http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/family.php?family_id=30
