I am in the process of setting up a 560gal tank and current wishlist for this tank will be one silver arowana and a couple of Pbass.
I want to throw a catfish in the mix but I dont know much about them so I need you guys help.

whats a good catfish that I can throw in this mix?

Whats a good diet for this fish?

Keep in mind that I want these fish for the entirity of there life so getting an rtc is out.
 
Giraffe nose cat!
 
Lima would be another good pick. Although I'm not sure how a lima + tig would be together. Tigs hate other cats, although I'm gonna try to put two together in my next tank.
 
Well looking at the kind of fish U want to comm in together with would mean the cat has to be able to take MP readily. Also, considering that PBs n Silver have a voracious appetite, U will want to get a cat that will be able to fight for food :)

Here's my probable list of suggested cats:

1. Tigrinus
2. Juruense
3. Oxydoras Niger
4. Megalodoras Irwini
5. Giraffe Catfish
