I think I made a thread like this a whole back but this one is slightly different. So what species of catfish have you guys kept? This can be ANY species that you've kept during your entire lifetime, not just now. If you're an insane catfish fanatic like me your list will probably be a page long but whatever :). Feel free to list any additional info about the cats such as housing, tankmates, etc. I'll start it off!

Bagrids:
Asian Bumblebee Catfish (Pseudomystus siamensis)

Corydoras:
Julii Cory
Unidentified Cory
Adolfoi Cory
Bronze Cory

Doradids:
Striped Raphael Catfish

Plecos:
Common Pleco
Common Whiptail Catfish
Sailfin Pleco (Gibby)


Im currently keeping the asian bumblebee, bronze Corys, striped raph, and Gibby.

So how about you guys?

I actually have never kept any cats myself. I just got my brother hooked on the fish keeping life. He is in love with all the cats. He has a Pictus (excuse my spelling if it's wrong) cat a little Cory of some kind (it's different shades of brown splotches with cute little whiskers) and he has a rubber lip pleco. I don't know a thing about cats and I would like some inputs on do's, don't's, fun habits, which ones are aggressive and passive, best setups, water parameters and anything else you can tell me about them. I just bought my brother a 55g setup and want this to be a pleasurable experience.

Ready, set....and GO! ;)
