New tank mates?

[Unratedaccount]

So I have a 55 gallon that has been up for about 12 weeks now. And I have a female 4 inch Green terror, and 4 2 inch long giant danios. The green terror does not mess with the Giant danios, whatsoever. I also wanted to get a species of bottom feeder, (preferably catfish) that don't get too big, but will also have armor. My gravel is medium, and is smooth. The reason I want to get a bottom feeder is because the 5 fish I have are messy eaters, and they will always leave pieces of food at the bottom. I wanted to get something that will pick up the pieces of food, and eat it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv-Q0nSLdMI here is a video of this week. It is the most recent so you guys can see what the tank looks like right now. Or I would like to get another cichlid (convict, firemouth, or something small)

I'd advise a Raphael cat, maybe a eupterus; both are bulletproof. Convict would do fine in there too, firemouth would get murdered before long.

Yeah Raphael was the first to come in mind for me, my other two options were cories, or pictus. I think Ill go with rapael catfish though.

Nice terror, u sure it's a female?

Thanks! I have been debating myself whether it is or not. At first I thought it was a male, but then I saw other males and they have sharper and longer dorsal fins. So I am pretty determined it is a female for now.

Yeah, I just ordered a Raphael cat via my LFS, they are going to give me a call when the fish come in.

I keep a Pictus Catfish with my male GT and he could care less about it. Nice addition of silver/metallic coloration on the bottom of the tank.
