i would like a pleco/catfish/maybe eel? any kind of bottom feeder for my 125 (72Lx18Wx24H) its tankmates are a crenicichla lepidota and a jag. something that is attractive, thanks.
 
i was thinking a tire track. i researched them but had mixed results. i know they get long but since they are so flexible and dnt swim much maybe theyll be ok in a tank only 18" wide?
 
Tire track eels are prettier IMO, but dont they hide in the gravel or sand, w/e is on the bottem? Why not a smaller bullhead of some sort? is that one in your picture to the left? or a tadpole madtom. they are kind of small though
 
Fire eels are even better looking IMO.
 
pecock might get eaten theres a thread some where of a pike eating a big fire eel i would go with tire track or fire eel just make sure there big enough the tank would last a while any way if they do out grow it they can get big thow
and there are a few catfish you could try
1 sun catfish (just like a bullhead only shyer and yellow)
2 a pictus of some kind
3 lima shovel nose mabye
theres plenty more but i can't think of very meny right now
 
One of the larger fancy plecos like a royal or scarlet.
 
Haha I already have gotten 2 of the suggested bottom feeders since this thread was started, Lima Shovelnose and bullhead catfish. And I'm happy with my tank and it's current stock, Thanks anyways though.
