I posted a while ago about starting up a new tank, however my plans have been forced to change. I initially I wanted to get a 250L-300L tank but I got evicted (landlord wanted to move back in) and I am now living in a very small place (only 11.6 meters squared) I have figured out a way to fit a 150L Tank in but the filter I have is a fluval 406 canister filter that is rated for tanks up to 400L. Is it ok to use this filter still? Also I really wanted to get some catfish (not the sucker kind) and thought maybe a Hoplo Catfish might work? are they ok alone or would I need two or more? Is my tank big enough. I am so confused by what I've read on how big they get. Some websites say they get to 20cm and others say 12cm, and I think there might even be three or four different Catfish called Hoplo Catfish. If these catfish are a big fat no is there any other recommendations? The tank is 91cm long 38cm wide and 45cm high. I want to grow some plants and will have sand as the substrate. Possible other fish will be some sort of schooling fish like a tetra, a Bristlenose Catfish maybe some corydoras sterbai. I haven't set the tank up yet its still a work in progress, just doing all my research first Thanks heaps
