I have a 48x14x20 58 gallon tank with 2 featherfin catfish and a female salvini which is very aggressive, I have tried some other fish with it like carpintis and a small vieja but they all pick on the featherfins. Could some one suggest a tank make that could put up with the salvini's aggression but be peaceful enough to not try and murder my featherfins?
 
I'll be in Melbourne tomorrow and with lots of pet shops to choose from hopefully I will be able to find what ever I am after.
 
I've had one cichlid that picked on a feather fin and that was a dovii but he was paired up and tearing into anything that moved even outside of the tank but usually featherfins get mean enough to join in or split up a cichlid fight I would say a small vieja

Mmm I have really been turned off viejas now as the 2 I have owned have turned out to be hybrids and don't really have the best personalities either. Do you think Acarichthys heckelii would go ok? I know of an aquarium shop who has them instock for $75 each at about 12-15cms.
