The questions are vague. Which ones won't?

the ones i posted the link for was the ones i was gonna get

Are you referring to the combination of pictus catfish and polka dot loaches? Compatibility is not an issue.

 

[Mrchub]

well now i got a JD now with the 4 cats

Like Lupin said, compatibility isnt an issue between the botia & Pictus. If you want them, you can still get them. The JD shouldn't be an issue either unless he gets a mate & breeds. Lupin, let me know if I'm wrong on this...

 

[Mrchub]

well then i am very happy and geting 2botias =D
ty for all the help
ppl

 

[JakeH]

No problem. 2 may not adjust very quickly, though. They like to be in packs, so 3, 4, or 5 Botia would be better...

I haven't seen any problems with loaches and pimelodus pictus. Also, in my experience, Botia Kubotai are very active as individuals. I have always had one or two specimens with no problems.

There shouldn't be any problems with the pictus, not sure about the JD cause I don't know much about cichlids at all. I started with one kubotai and he was ridiculously shy until I purchased two more.. I'd go with Jake on the 3+ figure, they are pretty social.
