hello everyone. I am new to this forum and really liked reading the posts. Well, I have a question that i hope anyone can help me with.

I am planning to buy a bigger tank so i can put all these fishes together:

1 otto catfish
2 zebra danios
2 pearl danios
1 paradise fish

however, I wonder if my otto catfish will get along with my paradise fish once i do this. My main concern is that i really don't know how quick my otto catfish swims in case my paradise fish comes to its antics of bullying other fishes. My danios are ok since they are pretty fast but i am concerned for my otto catfish. Does otto catfish swim fast? thanks.

I think you'd be better off if you bought a small school of Otos. I've kept Paradise fish on and off for a lot of years and never seen them bully other fish - except for females of their own species.
