I would say a MBU. Probably ideal to be get one that is similar in size of your Cats. Your Shovelnose & RedTail will eat anything that fits in their mouths & I am not quite sure how you have clown loaches with them as I would have thought they would have made a meal out of them by now. I have had a Shovelnose & they get huge. I think 5feet in their natural habitat.

Isn't your Jardini highly aggressive? I had one and could not keep any tankmates with him. I had Oscars the same size with them and they took a beating so I had to give those guys away.

Most would argue, its such a short time that there is not much point unless you have a much larger home ready for the puff as it grows...
