Here's a stocklist for my future 6 footer

original plan was to go for a TSN but fellow MFKers suggested to skip it and go for a lima shovelnose... Well its ok at least lima is a catfish... Any other catfish i can keep instead of a lima for my 6 footer? I want a catfish that doesnt end up having a silver arowana tail hanging out of its mouth...

Thanks

I doubt a lima would swallow a 12" aro. Ditch the pb. Limas look really cool in a group, you could try getting 2 or 3.

ok.. i may ditch the oscar... He just finishes my food like mad and he doesnt interest me much although I like the way he swims to me... pbass i wanna keep.. never kept those guys b4... I still havent found a source for limas...
 
After reviewing ALL the catfish suggested Ive narrowed it down to 9 species to choose from..
1-Lima
2-Whiptail
3-Jaguar
4-Juruense
5-Ornate pim
6-Jello Band
7-Sun
8-Bullhead
9-Raphael

From what Ive read the eel catfish has poisonous fins, is that true? And I couldnt find a liver catfish...
