I am thinking about starting a big catfish tank. With Pictus, Channels, and other small Catfish. (maybe a couple of corys and plecos).
I am looking for a lot of advice about tank size and fish recomendations!!!

PLEASE post or recomend something for me. I want this tank to be AWESOME!!!!!

You have to choose between a large tank housing many small cats, few medium sized cats, or one (or two) big cats. Channel cats aren't really suitable for tanks because of the size they grow to (they're better suited to ponds).
Also, do you prefer a biotope tank (i.e. all catfish from one continent), or just a mishmash of cats from everywhere?
We can make better recommendations if you clarify your needs.

I would most likely be mishmashing. (nonagressive types of course)

Do you have a tank size in mind, or is the budget for a tank and assocaited equipment like filters not going to be a constraint?
