Hi
A few questions about the white Suckerfish

I have a stream in my backyard that only has creek chubs and these suckers in it. It's a really small creek and the biggest sucker I've seen in there is still under a foot long. I have two creek chubs in a 20 gallon long and I was wondering if I could put a sucker In there temporarily. I am thinking when he grows out, maybe he could do in my 90 gallon African cichlids tank?? I don't think the high pH will be a problem as they live in basically street runoff.
Thoughts?

Thanks for any input.

I think it will do pretty well actually. those guys can be surprisingly aggressive and hold their own.

Against african cichlids? I seriously doubt it.
 
thought you said they were white? so is that a northern hogsucker? I know some of the variants are considered endangered and would be illegal to collect.
what's the pH from whence they come? most fish adapt fairly well as long as the pH doesn't fluctuate.

it's a white sucker.....for everyone's record, it's called a white sucker, not a white suckerfish.
