List Of Well Armoured Cats?

[SJ2K]

Put this in the 'Other Catfish' thread with no luck.

"Ok so I may be starting an Mbuna set up in the new year and im well aware that only well "armoured" catfish are suitable to withstand the occasional pecs. Can we get a list together of all appropriate tough catfish? Ones I know that would be ok so far are:

Bristle nose Plecs.
Most Synodontis catfish (native to Malawi)."

Pim Pictus and Pim Blochii can work - i've kept both species successfully in the past in Mbuna tanks.

Common and Sailfin Plecs

Many more L numbers are possible but i've never fancied keeping the more delicate (and expensive) species with Mbuna

Hoplo's possibly - never actually done it but Hoplo's are armoured - I do keep 2 with a GT and they get along fine.

yeah I was going to mention hoplos, another problem may be them having to compete for food, its a totally nightmare trying to feed my syndontis.
