Cats from FAST rivers.

Ok they don't have to be asian but since my other fish are asian I thought I'd post it here. I'm setting up a 20gallon long tank that I'm going to be putting my five Beaufortia hillstream loaches in. I want to put some catfish that can take the current from a river tank setup and won't bother my hillstreams. Any ideas? Thanks

If you want to stick with Asians, you can try erethistids like Hara. Otherwise, bulldog plecos (Chaetostoma) will do fine.
Heck, you can even put madtoms (Noturus) in there.

Well the chaestoma I'm afraid wil not let my hillstreams get enough food. The madtoms are a great idea though! .....if I can find some. I'll look into the hara you suggested. I don't really know much about them but I'll find out! THanks silurus!

you might run into Gagata, they too are hillstream cats and they love a good current.
unfortunately they're quite fraile and raily for sale; if you see them, buy as many as you can afford; they're shoalers and singles, duos or trios pine and die.
