I am in the process of getting together a list of fish I want for a new 180g I have set up and running. Looking for a idea on a catfish or 2 to get. It will be a SA/CA set up. I have never owned a cat before but after looking @ pics on here I want 1. No RTC please dont want a 3 footer I have to find a home for later.

Lima shovelnose... Jaguars... Gulpers.... Jur... Tig...Lots of Synos, Pictus, 4 Line Pims..There are Tons of options avail at that size of a tank... what types of cats do you like?
i have a bullhead cat theyre pretty awesome. i like the way they swim with their whole body and not just their fins. the albino ones are even cooler. but id say you should get a bullhead or shovelnose. i like the RTC too but you say no to that.

basslover hit it right on the head, you have many choices. I am partial to the Lima Shovelnose. Check out the Jaguar cats. Many of the family doradidae are super cool too. I'm talking about armored catfish family: spotted raphael, striped raphael, but probably not oxydoras niger, which will get too big for what your are looking for.
I have never seen a Jaguar Cat before. After looking on you-tube and looking at other sites this could be what I am looking for. How hard are these fish to find? Thanks for some great ideas. I look foward to doing more research.
I've been looking for one here for a year... found one... but another member scooped it up before I could get back to the LFS to pick it upssalyers;2297377; said:
