[rtague]

Hi guys,I have a 125g 72x18 with a pair of cuban cichlids.I want to add a catfish that grows around 10'' but looks something like a rtcI'm clueless when it comes to these beautiful fish.Any help would be greately appreciated.

Sun cats are the first thing that comes to mind. They have a similar body shape to RTCs but they get a little bigger than 10" if thats a problem.

It doesn't look like an RTC but an eupterus catfish is a good choice. They are are great easy to care for catfish. They do well in aquariums also. I have had mine for 4 years and I've kept him with sa cichlids like oscars,jd's etc......
Just don't catch them in a net!

Dude you hit it right on the nose-nice.
Also try jaguar catfish. Another member just posted some nice ones in the catfish media section.
