I thought about those too. But they only get about 7-9 inches. You think they'll be okay with peacocks and a arowana? I'm sure it'll be with with the jack but I'm worried about it being eaten.
Thanks! Those are pretty cool but I was looking to get a more colorful or something that stands out that is also a bottom feeder to help keep excess food on the substrate. I like color but I like size too. That's why I really wanted a shovel nose catfish but they get way too big way too fast. I down for a cool looking pleco or a catfish.
Thanks that helps alot. And yea once the arowana outgrows the tank over next year 2 or 3 years I was planning on moving up to 250 or bigger depending in my personal situation at the time.Are you planning on upgrading for the Aro and Pbass? I only ask but ultimately your tank will be too small for either the Aro or Pbass and if you are upgrading that would effect the catfish I might suggest.
Also larger catfish don't usually make for a good clean up crew as many cats tend to be predators. A better clean up crew might be firemouths or geos who constantly sift sand. One of the few cats that might be a good clean up crew is the dwarf giraffe catfish who max out around 8 inches.
If how ever you just want a nice looking cat that would be fairly active and be okay in your 125 a Bolt Cat/ Aguarunichthys torosus who max out around 14 inches might be a good choice
Another good choice might be Ornate Pimelodus the Ornate Pim which max out around 11 inches.
