    Catfish in Apisto Tanks

    What are good choices of catfish for an Apisto tank? I was thinking more along the lines of an algae eater or something to clean up uneaten food. Most Cories seem too large or meddlesome.

    Thank You!

    Thanks to all who have answered my questions. I didn't have time to thank you individually. I was only 15 when I got my first Apistos. I knew very little about them, but they did at least spawn for me. But unfortunately not successfully. This time I am determined to do m it right!

    Water Chemistry

    I know that my tapwater here is moderately hard, with a ph of around 7.5. Would it be best to add RO water to lower the Ph? Or should I attempt to lower it by adding chemicals or an aquarium product specifically suited for this?

    Philadelphia Pa Tapwater

    My tap water is moderately hard. The ph is 7.2-7.3 and the alkalinity is 45 ppm. The hardness is 6-11 grains per gallon or 100-150 ppm. Would mixing it with RO water make it more acceptable to most species of Apistos, or does it need to be chemically treated?
