Tank mate question

[scat]

I have a needle fish, leparanius (spelling), juvenile channel cat, and a pleco going into a 120 gallon tank. What would be some good tank mates to go along with these guys. This is not a pernament home, but it does have to work for a year and a half.

i wouldnt suggest putting anything with them... leporinus get nasty and anything thats really small that the leporinus wont bully is gonna get eaten by the cat or needlefish.

The Leporinus is in a 75 with these fish now and I have 3 decent black high skirt tetras in there that dont get bothered.

Ya hes about 7 inches long. Hes just never shown any kind of agression towards anything.

Oh. Youre lucky. Ive heard of leporinus geting really nasty

at some point the catfish might eat the needlefish, and get pretty large too
