Looking to add a catfish.....

[flukekiller]

I've been thinking about adding a cat to my tank and was wondering if it would even be possible. I have rays and discus in the tank right now. would it be possible to add say a lima shovelnose if not what would suggest it any at all?
Thanks

Yep, that would work fine.

I can't remember, but what size is your tank and rays? I keep pictus cats with my rays but they are "small" rays.

tank is 5' x 4'

sorry about the horrible spelling and typing in my original post... any suggestions on other cats that could be safe to keep?

Large synodontis eurupta come to mind (featherfin)

what sort of cat are you looking for? active or reclusive or what?

one that would be suitable for my tank and its inhabitants.

one that would be suitable for my tank and its inhabitants.

but do you want a cat that moves a lot? looks pretty? looks unusual?

those are also factors, alongside the suitability with your current fish, if we know this it is a little easier to help

I'm not looking for anything specific other than it won't be eaten by my rays and it won't eat my discus... other than that it doesn't matter as I'm just looking for suggestions so I can do some research on what I feel would do best in my tank. like saying get a rtc, we'll besides tank size I know it will eat my fish so no need to look at that.

You could try Raphael's or 4 line Pimelodus
