Interesting/Unique Catfish Please

[richardhmc]

Hi everyone! I will soon have a 125 gallon tank very soon and I want to stock it with a catfish. What kind of catfish is good for a 125? I dont want to go over a foot since it will be housed with a few dempseys. Dempseys are 2 inchish each. about 2 or 3 dempseys in 125. Also one that isnt agressive and wont eat any of my other fish.

Thanx

Synodontis decorus, Synodontis eupterus, Synodontis ocellifer...

Your requirements narrow down the options alot..

The syndontis are a good idea.

The synodontis scientific names are often their common names as well.

I'd go with synodontis species, raphaels, possibly lima shovelnose, banjo cats, keyhole cats, corydoras (several really great looking ones when put in schools), or exotic plecos like the one in my avatar.

i think a lima shovelnose would be great

 

[sauroid]

Agamyxis pectinifrons, Mystus mysticetus, Pimelodus pictus, Megalechis thoracatus, Dianema longibarbis/urostriata... sorry dunno the common names.

striped raphael catfish?

Raphaels are great cats, but they won't be seen very often until they are larger.
