What algae eater/ pleco/ catfish will work with a senegal bichr?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What kind catfish do you have access too? I'd think that any catfish that maxed out under 12" should be safe: no gulpers or e-cats. What about an Asian bumblebee catfish? They get around 8" and are really nice looking. Good community cat too, from what I've read.
 
i know i can get syndontis from petsmart (dont know what kind), upside down catfish from petco, pictus cats from walmart and featherfin cats from walmart. there might be others i dont remember.
 
Pictus wouldn't be bad, though when at their max size would be pushing it. The featherfin would be the right size, but I remember reading that they could be territorial. Not sure if that was only with members of the same species, or ALL fish. Not sure how aggressive they get, but as long as they have a hiding spot of their own, they should be fine wit the bichirs.
 
so how many pictus could i have? also how many upside down cats could i have or are they too small? i like the featherfin cat alot, but ive read theyre pretty aggressive. i can go down to 2 blood parrots instead of 3 also.
 
what about syno petricola? how many could i do? what size would be a good size? i have one thats about 2in+ right now. i dont know if the senegals will grow fast enough to eat one eventually tho.
 
id like to know how many for pictus, the featherfin, and the upside down cats. i would also consider an opaline gourami or maybe a firemouth cichlid instead of the cats. so out of these i would like to see the numbers with my stocking
opaline gourami
firemouth
pictus cats
featherfin cats
pictus cats
this is in my kitchen so i plan on sending pics to my parents and seeing which theyd like more.
this is the stocking so far
120 gallon (48 by 24 by 24)
2-blood parrots
1-kirin parrot
6-congo tetras
2-senegal bichrs
1-albino bristlenose pleco
