Banjo cats

[Dwarfs]

I saw some of these at a LFS the other day and wondered if they would work in a sand-bottom 30g tank with some small fish (2" and up) Those fish would be peacock gudgeons, badis, keyholes, and maybe some apisto sized dwarf cichlids

should be fine, you might want to make sure the smallest fish is more aounrd 3" though just to make sure.

I agree, No Very Tiny Fish as they are Trap Door Feeders, Near there mouth they will try it.

Well we had a slight problem in the peacock gudgeon fry tank

It'll be a while before there are any 2" fish in any of my tanks

So now the smallest fish will be badis (well for a few months anyway), which are much deeper bodied and slightly longer

Banjo cats are usually fine with even small fish like tetras though as with everything there are exceptions for different fishes personalities.
Personally i have never had any problems keeping banjos with smaller fish, my son has 2 in his community tank with guppies and glowlight tetras, however i find them to be a bit of a waste of bioload as i have seen bogwood that is more active

I'll talk to my dad, maybe we'll pic a few up from the store

They need to be saved, Isn't gravel a no-no with these guys?
