No whiptail catfish. Stick with sturdy ones such as doradids.

thanks I dont thhink we can have Doradidae catfish in hawaii but what about an Asian Bumble Bee Catfish?

 

[Lupin]

Pseudomystus siamensis? It'll work fine with those cichlas that size.

What about megalodorus irwini? Or how about hi-fin marbled cats? When you ask the cat question the answers are endless. Maybe a lima shovelnose?

I Have 2 Big Limas in the pond about 12" + but Im worried they might eat them

Irwini's a good suggestion.. how bigs the tank? The Limas could work..
