which type of armor catfish

Post by lovecatfish4928 »

Which type of armor catfish is good for a 55 gallon tank a porthole catfish or a hoplo catfish? Planning to keep about 3-6 catfish with some dwarf gourami!

I would think either of the Dianema species (porthole cats)would be okay




All the below can be called hoplo cats
Of the three Hoplosternum is quite large in comparison and may be cramped in this size tank. The other two would be fine but harder to get I would think.

You could also look at the two Megalechis species they would be fine as well.
