Catfish for a 29 Gallon Freshwater Planted Aquarium

[Aquamandan]

If I only want 1 or 2 catfish, what would you recommend for a 29 gallon freshwater planted?

I have 2 GBRs and 4 dwarf (fairly docile) cichlids.

You could add a couple otocinclus cats or some Pygmy corydoras

4 umbrella cichlids (each about 2 inches long).

I have 2 upside down catfish that would love a bigger home! They are in a 10 gallon now.

Cory cats. A school of 5-6 of them. And have you ever considered kuhli loaches??? I have them in all my tanks and they are great bottomfeeders

Only looking for 1 or 2 catfish which eliminates cories, I know they should be in larger groups. I have thought of kuhli loaches, they look pretty cool. How big do they normally get?

Almost all Cats are social. Most Loaches also. Perhaps a Clown Pleco instead ?

Whip tail, cories, banjo, bumblebees, bulldog plecs and clown pecs, upside downs aldo

Mine never get past 3" and they are very slim. Striped raphael? I am not big on catfish.

Khulis need at least 5+. They're actually much more interesting to watch when they have a school.
