I have a 55gal tank that i ahve 4 green sevrums in which im trying to form a pair i would like to keep some kinda catfish with them but im not sure what would work i have a common pleco in there which im getting rid of because there a waste of space i have a bristlenose pleco that im growing so that i can add it to the tank but i would like some bottom feeders to clean up left overs and what not and will not be bothered by the sevrums im also worried will they be fine once the sevrums start breeding

Cories might work but a larger species of loach or plec would work better. I dont think much will be safe once they start breeding unless the tank has a very very large amount of hiding spaces. What would the cat experts reccomend?

EDIT: when you type pleco it auto *s it. Cool, though ive never had the curse problem.LOL

i have thought about corys but i would need some larger kinds are there any kinds of corys that grow to 3 inches or more becuase im worried that a full grown sevrums would make a easy meal out of a 2 inch corry cat and my sevs are already about 5 inches not a whole lot fo growth yet also my tank is bare bottom right now wiht no hiding spaces im currently trying to grow my sevs out a little more so i have to take that into consideration

Green sevrum groving to about 30 cm/1 foot, right? I can't come up with any cats for your setup that will like it in the long run. Are you sure you want cats in there?

i changed my mind im not adding anything to the tankother thenmy bristlnose and sevrums only grow about 8 inches sometimes 10 but thats rare i wanted some kind of bottom feeder from south america but it seems liek only thing that would work is clow loaches but ill just skip them then i figure once the sevs start breeding not much would survive with them
