What are the best type of catfish that are able to live with cichlids...i know not all fish live in high pH waters, so i was just wonderding wat cat fish are best suited to these conditions?
also are there any special considerations for catfish wen there in a bigger tank with other fish...like do u have to feed them special food or anything like that?
thanks

I've always had luck with food that sinks for bottom feeders. Shrimp pellets work, but once the fish develop a taste for that other stuff doesn't look as good to them.

I keep a few Raphael cats in my tank. They have an armored "skin" and my Cichlids never bothered them. They grow pretty quick too.
