Good bottom dweller for a 220 w/ Dats

[BushFishRox]

Hello, I am thinking of trading in my common pleco and getting something new for the bottom.

The tank is a 220 6'x2'x2.5' and tankmates are:

1 AT Dat
5 IT Dats
1 Leopard Ctenopoma
1 Tiger Oscar
1 Silver Aro

Any ideas? I was thinking TSN but they can eat bigger fish and I dont want to risk them as they are cool and expensive...

Polypterus

definitely polypterus

lima shovelnose

 

[Fishes33]

Tiriginus

 

[Loubard]

Big clown loaches

Polypterus is your best bet.

Big clown loaches

big clown loaches are in the $100 range a piece in my area... and they are also very hard to find big ones hence the high price, if they were more common I would consider them.

endli could work is the tank 2.5 feet wide or tall

that or go for a spiny eel like tire track or fire great fish very owner responsive they can be hand feed which is really cool plus they look pretty cool

if you wan't a catfish lima shovel nose are cool don't get a TSN they get way to big for that tank and grow fast and would be able to eat your other fish no problem dats don't grow nearly fast enough to avoid being food
