What's your favourite catfish??????

[Ichthyophile]

Definitely Corydoras, and the OP's handle - honestly - had no influence on my decision. : I'm preparing a species tank for a C. panda shoal (fishless cycle).

I favor the flavor of channel cat, personally.

Ret Tailed Cats are awesome, but I really love Columbian Sharks. Mine grew from a 1.5 incher in July to a 5.5 incher now! His mouth now is bigger than when I bought him. I know he isn't huge or anything, but he really looks like a shark!

I voted Synodontis, and it wasn't even close for me... I've had, at some point: S. angelicus, S. decorus, S. petricola, S. multipunctatus, S. nigriventris, S. eupterus, S. nigrita (or one of the species of "lace" cats), S. serpentis, and S. ocellifer. I'm currently resisting the urge to add S. flavitaeniatus to the list...

S. angelicus is probably my favorite species. S. decorus is a truly beautiful species, and I think S. ocellifer is highly underrated when they have a gorgeous olive coloration.

I've never had much luck with Loricariids, and I haven't kept a lot of Corydoras (or related Brochis).

Pimelodids for me

Tigirinus cats and close behind zebra plecos

 

[rosswake]

I prefer them fried with some hush puppies on the side!! mmmm-mmm

 

[Yoemen]

Raphs. They aren't terribly active I know. But they are cool to watch when they get hungry. I like my synos too, but they bully each other too much.

 

[Loach43]

Plecos for sure, especially panaques

I love my farlowella catfish. He's so odd looking... Plus really low-maintenance. That's a plus.
