Catfish Friends Together?

If I can't get another two 2 salt and pepper catfish next week, would my two little ones appreciate the company of peppered catfish or will they see them as bigger rivals.
What about Panda corys. Would they get on with those.

In other words would the extra 2 catfish, irrespective of species, make up the four so they are all happy together. I like the look of Pandas if I can't get salties

Questions questions. I'm always full of them

Thanks for your patience.

And Peppered cories are MUCH bigger than Salt and Pepper. I doubt if they'd mix well at all.

Cories don't care much for veggies. They will eat it if there is nothing else but they do better with high protein pellets/granules and small live/frozen live food such as daphnia and cyclops. The bigger cories are fine with larger live food, but the dwarf varieties like your salt & pepper and my pygmies need it small.

Daphnia is on my shopping list.

They did have a little nibble of the wafer though.

They must be getting enough from the algae at the moment. We were remarking today that the corys  must us so much energy darting around like they do
