Tank Mates...?
Hey all,
Curious about tank mates for a SR.... I have a 20cm SR held and setting up a 180cm x 70cm x 70cm planted system... was thinking a 10cm Flower Horn and a 10cm Siamese Tiger with 5 Clown Loaches at average of 10cm to 15cm I get that fish temper will depend on fish but I was hoping because they are juvies there may be a shot that they get along as they grow. Please share any thoughts... S |

FH very aggressive and got to comm with many of similar cichlid. One ST alone and few CL which like hide might not work out.

Ok, so STs should be in a shoal? The goal is a total of 9 fish, I did some reading into FH and crossed it off the list. 3 STs and 5 CLs and the 1 SR?

WOW....nice...something to motivate.
So, I need 8 fish to follow the Feng Shui, and have the chance to pick up 3 STs. Was thinking 1 SR, 3STs, 3 CLs and 1 Fire Eel....planted system 882 liters at 180cm. ??? |

Also...have a chance at picking up a XB Gold, can I do 2 SR and a XB? I would probably add some bottom feeders to clean....

Im kinda against CL esp if you have loads of hiding places..they just keep hidding! And get ick easily..well at least for mine. Have to prep wafer pellets to supplement their diet.
3 arowanas shld be alright but it all depends on their personality..how much food they are getting, some fights n torn fights shld b the norm. Your ST might also try to be the alpha..so..be prepared! Nv kept fire eels but bichirs are pretty easy n not picky on food. Can consider them, not ripping up my plants...yet. |
