Rapheal and Banjo Catfish

[tengallonman]

I am new to the forum, but wanted to ask a quick question. I have a striped raphael already and wanted to add a banjo catfish. If they have hiding spots, driftwood and plants will they bother each other? What I have read is that they are both fairly peaceful species, but didn't know how they would react with each other.

Thanks,

Hiya tengallonman, welcome to MFK. as long as the banjo is as least as big as the raphael it should be ok, they pretty much ignore each other though the raphael might claim the best hiding spots.

I have 6 banjo cats with a planiceps and there are no problems. They are great gravel cleaners! Look at my sig to see what I have with the banjos and the tank is peaceful.

I have two tiny banjo cats (1-2") in with one huge sriped raphael (10"), no problems whatsoever. There are lots of hiding places, and it is a heavily planted tank, but I think the combination of the two should be fine regardless
