Hello

I am looking for suggestion on some catfish species that would suit a 200l tank with a temperature between 16 to 22°c
Families:
Auchenipteridae
Aspredinidae
Loricariidae
Callichthyidae

Thanks for your suggestion
Cheers
Yann

I've just bought some Scleromystax barbatus and Megalechis thoracata for my cool tank to go with some albino ancistrus in there already.
At this time of year the tank runs at 18oC.

I wonder whether the Megalechis thoracata would like this water. For the others it is OK.

Did you know Scleromystax barbatus likes current?

According to the profile on here they like water from 17oC to 28oC. I think I saw similar temperatures on ScotCat as well. They are certainly nice and active in their quarantine tank at this temperature as I type.

There's a decent current in my main tank for the Opsarius and barbs in there but the Scleromystax seem ok so far in the quarantine with just air powered filters (but this will only be for a few weeks).
