Sorry if this is a "easy" question...

[stevelamby]

I did a little searching and couldnt find what I was looking for.

Basically I am wondering what a good bottom feeder would be for a 125?
Its going to house a few larger cent. and S/A cichlids such as oscar, gt, jd, firemouth....

Any suggestions would be great. I dont want something that gets HUGE, just something that will fit in a 125 for life and be happy.

Thanks in advance!

Steve

-Syno cats
-Big plecos
-Clown and tiger Loachs
-Polypterus

Something that likely wont beat up on the cichlids or vise/versa... and doesnt get to large for the 125.... Prob a car or a loach, if they dont get too large. Ive hard large plecos before and in my experience the large ones provide more waste than they do help...

Thanks for the responses so far..

Get a senegal. It fits your requirement!

Most loaches cannot withstand beatings. Bichirs would be the best option.

Dont they get like 20" or so? I dont want something that large as it would take up too much tank space, and I dont want something where I would have to upgrade...

If you want a loach go with a tiger loach your fish should be able to survive with one lol
Syno eupterus those featherfins are sharp!

nope they only get around 12'' max so you should get a larger bichir if you wan't it to hang with cichlids you could try a delhezi bichir they get around 12'' to but are muh thicker or mabye a weeksii bichir they can get 20'' but would be happy in a 125

try
four line catfish
any upper jaw species of polypterus
ornate catfish
large syno cats
sun catfish
lima shovel nose (they could out grow your tank )
some kind of armored catfish
