I have a snyo eupterus (6") two gold dojo (3") in one tank. I recently found a syno angelicus (2") at my lfs (25$) that I am serously debating buying i love synos and it is the crown jewell of the family but tank is only a 55g and the dojos get big and the eupetus will get 8 to 9" before he is done, so not enuff space for 4, 8+" catfish in the tank, breaks my heart.

I have 7 albino BN's and a brown bn.

I think the males are kind of freaky looking but they are cool armoured cats.

synodontis euruptus - wanted an algae eater that didn't grow too big and was peaceful.

He's still only young and I don't see him much yet - hangs around in his cave a lot. The Cichlids are the ones that greet me when I go to feed them.
Featherfins aren't algae eaters. You need to be careful with him too because if it doesn't get enough food they will suck the slime coat off your other fish. My tank at work has one in it with 2 O's and a GT and they don't get food over the weekend, one monday morning I came in and it had sucked a raw spot on the GT. Keep it well feed, don't rely on algae as I've never seen one eat algae.

a BN pleco, because I love plecos and I wanted one that wouldn't outgrow a 10G (at least females won't)

an oto, because again I love plecos and I wanted a nice little algae eater for my 5G.

3 bronze cories because hey, they're cories!
5 Ottos - I rarely see them but they do a great job and when I do see them they're a blast to watch.
6 Siamese algea eaters - they're incredible little mowing machines and their behavior is a hoot.
Catfish just have great personalities.

It's Cory Lover's cat!
I have 3 different types of cories, soon to possibly be 5 types, and i love them because they're so cute.
