Sarah, Personally I would not introduce any catfish to your spawning Altispinosa tank. Do you have a local aquatic club as this is probably your best bet in acquiring worm cultures i.e. microworm, grindal and whiteworms. Also you could have a look in the aquatic magazines as many places advertise and you can order them my mail.
