	Catfish/Loaches with a GT
cols Hobbyist Posts: 129 Kudos: 91 Votes: 1 Registered: 03-May-2004	Hi, I need to know what kind of catfish/ loaches would be ok with a GT in a 63g tank. I had 12 kuhli loaches lats weekend and they seemed to be ok with the GT , shame they came with a fatal disease, LFS told me the whole batch had been dodgy. Thanks for any suggestions

How big is the GT they grow a little fast he will boss any fish around. you could get a royal pleco. or a gold nugget pleco. Last edited by riri1 at 11-Sep-2005 14:31

The Gibby would get to big for a 63, but that would not be for a while(L-001 are similar to a gibby but stay smaller). Be sure to get a bigger cat than your GT. I donot recommend any loaches for that tank. Also look into a smaller Bichir type for a different option.

Occassionally my con likes to pick one up and shake him about if he is stealing the Con's food, but the cat goes back to munching on the Con's share of goodies like nothing ever happened. They are also very good looking.
