Looking for a Large Bottom dweller

[Austin Finley]

Hi so I'm in the market for a big catfish i just got a 240 gallon(with sump) system running the tank is 7x2x2 the stocking currently planned is 1 spotted gar (8 inches), 1 silver arowana (10 inches) I do have a Guinean bichir growing out for this tank. I don't think my tank is big enough for a tigrinus however I love the shovelnose look and obviously the size im not dead set on a catfish as a bottom dweller an ornate bichir would be amazing as well. I Do have 2 fire eels they're for a different tank however Eels would bee nice aswell. honestly any recommendations would be appreciated.

I’d suggest a vulture catfish. Will have to upgrade with the other fish mentioned.

Sorubim lima would work. Wont get as large as a tig and still have the shovelnose

Saw a few baby's at my local fish and they looked awesome perfect size to grow up in the tank aswell

the tank will most likely need to be upgraded hopefully i'll be in the position to do that when the time comes I do like the vulture cat I've never seen one for sale near me but it would match my gar very well
