What Catfish Can I Get

[CornSnakeLover]

I have a 60 gallon (2ft) fish tank (Hopfuly getting 4ft in couple of months) I have 6 Danios in thre at moment. Im getting 5 Tetras and 3 corys (Peppered) Im not bothered about if it grows to big my mom or boyfriend will take it off my hands and put it in their tank. Though it would be nice to keep it if possible.

I would like a ctafish that isnt a plec! or going to eat my smaller fish and wont grow out my tank and if it does wont grow too quick whats your ideas ?

Tbh, there's not much, maybe pictus cats at a push, but all others grow very rapidly and could eat danios from a small size no problem...

Also how have you got a 60 gallon 2' tank?

All cat fish below will live full time(they won't out grow) with you danios and tetras.They are all small.

Hoplo catfish.(6inch)


Banjo catfish.(5inch) hides under sandy gravel.


Emerald catfish.(3-5inch)


Otto pleco(2 inch)


Bristlenose pleco(5inch)no where near the size of common pleco.Bristlenose pleco's come in a couple differant colour mutations.And is availible in vailfin.



And there is ofcourse countless cory catfish speices to chose from.

er, the banjo would easily eat the danios, however i can recommend synodontis nigriventis (SP?) its a dwarf syno, also know as the upside down cat, great little fish.

did you mean 60 litre?

Emerald catfish.(3-5inch)

That's a cory and i'm guessing he doesn't want anymore of those as he already has 3.

Emerald catfish are often mistaken for corydoras some scientists believe they are related but they are classed under a different genus.

When someone says pleco 9 times out of 10 they mean common pleco.And of course he dosen't want a common pleco in a 2ft tank due to the size they can grow.But a bristlenose is a differant ballgame.

I've had banjo cat's in a community tank with livebearers,tetras'etc i never had a problem.They just hid in the sandy bottom comming out for bloodworms.Then back under they went.They only tend to grow 4inch and there not what you call tank cruisers danios get 2inch and there speedy little buggers.So they will rerely cross paths with midway and top cruisers.

Erm 2' is only one measurement. Could be a 2 foot cube which would be roughly 60 gallons
