If you were a catfish what things would you want in a tank

Here is a thinker. If you personally were a cat fish what would you like to spend your days swiming in or stuck to? Personally id like some classical ruins. A greek temple maybe to be stuck to all day.

Well, if I was a Bristlenose, it'd have to be a Ginger-Bread House. I figure that equate's to a nice lump of wood, where-as you have a roof over your head, but something to snack on, at the same time!

And it keep's with the 'fantasy' theme...

How about Pyramids & Spynx's??

Mine already have the luxury of that

& to top it off, I have a bear living in my tank

This seems to be more what we want rather than what the fish would want as I am pretty sure they have no idea what the Sphinx is...
A piece of wood or rockwork might look a bit more like home.

Imagine a fish creating a home for us and putting us in a tank with rocks or wood and thinking it was what we would want

I should say that those pyramids look somewhat more comfortable than many that are sold in stores.

something over my head for comfort like a cave or wood, and lots of space so i could swim as fast as i want!

I would settle for a one-way ticket to wherever it was they caught me, but YMMV

I think I'd want some plants that are similar to the one in my native area, and I'd want some rocks or driftwood to hide under...But I'd think that pyramids would be cool, too! :D

i agree with the above. the more natural the better. below is a pic of a new-ish tank setup that houses my 2 BN's. it has more plants and a couple of rocks in it now. the mopani wood on the right has a hollow centre which the BN's often hide in. the mopani wood on the left is actualy my biggest
BN's fav hangout. if u look closely u can just see his tail sticking out from the bottom
