an USD cat and a featherfin cat that are 5in.? there are two different kinds of USD catfish, theres the USD cat fish which only gets 4in. max, and theres the featherfin catfish which also swims up-side down but it gets 8in.. so i think you have two featherfin cats or the one you think is a featherfin is actually something else. heres a pic of one of my two USD cats...
Tankmates for New Ornate?

i think you failed to mention how big your tank is. if its not big enough for the adult sizes of your fish, you might want to move the ornate to a new tank so as not to disturb your existing set.
My USD cat is grayish-black all over (no faint spots like adult featherfins), is a carnivore, and is a dedicated USD - unlike the featherfin who often times swims right side up. I'll try to post a pic later.Razman;736864;736864 said:an USD cat and a featherfin cat that are 5in.? there are two different kinds of USD catfish, theres the USD cat fish which only gets 4in. max, and theres the featherfin catfish which also swims up-side down but it gets 8in.. so i think you have two featherfin cats or the one you think is a featherfin is actually something else. heres a pic of one of my two USD cats...
Attached are 2 photos of my USD cat, who I realize is more like 6-1/2" now. He stays on top, right at the drain elbow of my overflow. My ornate meanwhile stays at the bottom among slate caves. Tank height is 24". Can anyone tell me the scientific name of my USD cat? 
My bumblebees should be around 5", not 3" as I previously said. They're quite hard to measure accurately since they're always hiding in slate caves. The ornate, although at 7", is "long and thin" compared to the bumblebees, who are "short and fat". That means that subjectively speaking, the bumblebees are "larger" as of now.H5N1;736821;736821 said:So are the bumble bee 3" or 7"? Sooner or later, most of the tank mates need to be moved, OR the ornate will move them for you
Ornate are very fun to watch. They are like garbage can
