Best catfish for my tank? Help please

Post by Philipraposo1982 »

Hi,

I am looking for an active catfish for my 75g.

Currently has one male green terror. Fx6 filter, sand with some.gravel for substrate.

Must be able to.live in a 75g for life. Small groups are fine. Active is important. I don't want hiding bioload. To me it's not worth it.

Is there options for me??

Your 75g has no other fish besides the single male green terror? And how big is he now?

Well a green terror is a little less aggressive than your average cichlid but that said ... its still a cichlid. I would suggest looking at the armored cats Callichthyidea: Megalechis or Hoplosternum. my 2¢
