I know a 90 gallon is kinda small to you guys but i got a good deal on it. I did the small schooling fish thing and now i want something bigger and better. I will be thinning it out but the fish that will stay for right now are the 2 bristle nose plecos and my 2 eclipse/sun catfish. They are only 1.5 in right now. What other catfish can i add to this tank?
 
they are cool but im not sure. Any other options?
 
Raphaels would be cool but they might hide too much for you.
 
I do like the raphaels. Im looking for something around that size (6-10in) if i can. Could i fit an ID in a 90 gallon. I dont think i can but im just wondering. Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming.
 
nah ID would get to big, you could get a bullhead catfish
 
i wouldnt mind a bullhead. Are there any other catfish that get around 6-10 inches? im just looking around right now so i look up all the ideas you guys are giving me. Thanks and more ideas would be great.
 
ok. I decided i like the bumblebee cats and the raphaels. I have 2 suncats in my 90 gallon now. How many of each (the bumblebee and raphael cats) could i add to my tank?
 
well, the bumble bees i had only gre to like a max of 2 inchs. when you buy them from a stor like petsmart they have them labeled as just bumble bee cats instead of the two different species. in general i believe its the south american cats that get up to 6in long and the asian ones get up to 2in, i believe. might wunna check me on that by googling it but it should be fairly easy to find. raphaels can get pretty big, ive seen pics of ones up to 10inches. so id go with one or two raphs and just watch there size, and prolly 3 or 4 bumble bees, they do like to hang out together, i had a pair and they swam around together 24/7
