Could I Add A Striped Raphael

[nick1200]

So i have a 4ft tank and have upgraded to  a 6 x 2 x 2. After i get my 6ft set up and cyled i want to add some more fish at the moment this is what i have
3 albino plecs ( baby ones )
4 female fighting fish
1 male fighting fish
3 guppies
8 corydoras
2 rams
2 silver sharks.
 
I would like to know if i can add two striped raphael ? I only ask because of the silver sharks and the albino plecs i know they will grow very big.

i have kept striped Rafael,they grow fast. i mean it. Also they are known to reach about 20 Cm however they mostly reach 15 cm. i would not recommend it as the guppies might get eaten. Also the corys may not get enough food as the catfish will eat almost everything that falls to the bottom. so i would say no.
if you really want a nice catfish , there are hoplo,bango and spotted Rafael catfish

spotted Rafael catfish are from the  same family  has the Rafael catfish / Striped Raphael you do know that ?

yep but they tend to reach about 13cm in reality.so could be OK in the tank but it would depend on the temperate of the fish you get.so i think you really should not get a Raphael and should get a hoplo pair. There amazing!!!!
