Stocking suggestions?

Post by angerygrover »

Hey guys, new here!

I'm in the midst of setting up a "South Asian" aquarium, as I like to do biotopes. However this tank isn't a true biotope and will feature species from anywhere in Asia, and possibly Australasia as well. While I've kind of narrowed down some of the other fish species I'd like to house, I still can't figure out what kind of catfish I'd like in here. It will be a 75 gallon system (dimensions are 36" long, 22" wide and 22" tall), so ideally I'd like to have just one "medium" (4"-6" specimen) or maybe a few small cats in here. I've only considered Pseudomystus siamensis, however I'm open to any other suggestions :-D They should ideally be bottom dwellers, and not be disturbed by boisterous species like barbs. The tank will also be somewhat cooled, kept at 25°C.

I did consider Glyptothorax however I may not be turning this into a hillstream setup so the lack of flow wouldn't be ideal. Here's my draft for the scape.
