you need to try and get a pic of the catfish so he can be id'd as he may be ok in your tank but he may also be a problem and could outgrow any tank

It's already been mentioned as 5-6 inches so already it's to big for the tank

this is what im planning on getting

Nice tank and probably suitable for all the fish apart from the plec, the plec can reach and often does over 15 inches, thats actuallt wider than that tank and may casue him/her problems while turning.

ideally 5x2x2 is ideal bigger better but 4x2x2 bare minimum for that plec

It's a nice tank, however you could buy a second hand juwel rio 400 for cheaper second hand (considerally cheaper)... there nicer and far more of a recognised brand

are they not smaller than the one i posted the link to ?

no the rio 400 is 400 litres ot there abouts and 5 foot long, width and hight is more aswell, the one in the link you sent is only 260litrs so the rio 400 is nearly double the water compasity

I have a jewel rio 400 as my main tank and it is a very good quality tank and a good size,around 88gallons

google mystus leucophasis, its the only jet black catfish i can think of and i have one and they really are quite aggressive, only comes out at night. jet black with long whiskars and little specs on the sides.
there isn't no pic od siamese algae eaters, its just a normal sucking loach!

SAE is commonly known in fish shops as a sucking loach... it may not be a true SAE but it is still reffered as one most if not all the time.

hi it does look simmilar but the mouth is more upfront than underneath like a pleco or this one !

 

[cantthinkofone]

it looks a little more like this just not as big

 

[meguro]

could it be a stressed pictus cat?

 

[dave_oddballs]

well if it looks like that it might get big so just fatten it up and eat it

 

[cantthinkofone]

if in any of the pics i could find of the pictus cat it was black i would say it is definatly that species
it says they only grow to around 6" as well
