I'm after a catfish to go in my community tank.

4x Swordtails
6x Zebra Danios
9x Serpea Tetra
4x Kuhli Loach

Can you advise something that wont upset the mix, mainly worried about the Kuhli.

depends on the tank size, as i could suggest a pitcus(angellicus ....) and it would outgrow a small tank, or if you had a big tank it would be fine.


but i am guessing it is a small tank, so a peaceful bottom fish(given the room) would be a school of cory catfish, my favorites and probably most common, would be a brozen cory, which also comes in an albino form.

Yo Yo Loaches get around 4 - 5 inches MAX. The problem with pictus cats in that tank would be that they are agressive feeders and do eat small fish like inch long Zebra Danios. But that depends on how big your Zebras are currently.

What type of catfish are you interested in? There are many species and varieties that could go into this tank, but it would be helpful if you could kind of list some of your likes. Cories of different varietes would be good as well as many others.
