Ottos would be great! But i'm not completely sure if they eat plants..i don't think they do though.

 

[Gboy66]

I dont think they do, but any other ideas in case? Ottos arent the coolest option IMO

Are you still interested in bumblebee catfish?

They don't necessarily need numbers, but they don't mind it. They are normally recommended for community tanks. They do need a good bit of hiding spaces.

If you do get one (or ten), make sure it is South American. NOT Asian. Asian bumblebee catfish get huge and eat other fish.

Bumblebee catfish, ima google them!

Im not sure if i could provide the hiding spots, because im getting some mazanita for the tank. If i see one, it would be a miracle though!

Driftwood would work. Plants help too. you don't have to have like an actual cave as a hiding spot.

pygmy cat, pictus cat (my favorite), glass catfish, whiptail cat, there are a few. Not to mention all the small plecos. be careful though there are a lot of huge catfish that are sold as small.

Are pictus that small?

Glass cats you would need at least five or six though.

Were you looking for more of a school or a solo?

Agreed!
