Little loach tankmates?

[toehead11183]

Im working on my 55g loach tank. So far i got it set up with my 3 spot loaches and a madtom cat. I still need to catch 3 yoyos, a border loach and a peacock eel and maybe another CL. I want to add some small topwater fish like neons but i dont want to feed the eel and catfish. Im thinking of zebra danios, cherry barbs, or some small colorful tetras. The reason im asking is i have no experiance with small fish.

good lookin tank i suck at aqua scapeing really i just can't find good lookin driftwood

As for the small fish if you get a peacock eel it should be fine they have really small mouths and could only eat fry
the madtom how ever could eat small fish so chose the size of fish you get bassed on the size of the cat or get fast moveing fish

yea, im still debating on moving the madtom. I put him in the loch tank because the aficans were picking on him in my other tank

thanks for the comment

Your eel will eat the small fish you mentioned. Congo tetras or giant danios should be your best bet.

I was going to say Congos....
