Colu Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) I was thinking of maybe getting glass Catfish for top level ancisturs for bottom and maybe some corydoras or wood cats Edited April 28, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorydorasEthan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) @Colu I just discovered this post, and it's a great idea! I've always wondered how an all catfish community tank would work. I personally would do maybe 20 or more pygmy cories to live in the "understory" if you will, and another school of cories (maybe pandas, albinos, paleatus, etc.) to occupy the bottom. 10 or so otocinclus, and then a group of honeycomb catfish (I think they're a type of wood cat) to top it all off (they feed at the surface, so they could serve as top dwellers when you feed the tank!). The ghost catfish might work too, though they can be pretty shy if the tank is too bright I think.

Glass Catfish or African Debauwi are great mid level shoaling catfish Edited April 28, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkshadowwolf Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Corydoras hastatus is a very nice mid water dwarf Cory. A large school of those would be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
