Hello, what can I keep
in the surface area of my tank? The tank is a 576 l./150 gal. with a footprint 120x60cm./4'x2'. It's a tank basically project to keep Polypterus (I've two P. palmas polli, but I want add something) and catfish (1 Agamyxis), but there is also a 25 cm/10" Gobiosoma broussonnettii and a 20 cm/8" Crenichicla sp. Xingu.

A jardini almost always can only be kept by himself as he is very aggressive.

Yesterday I bought a 10" jardini; he doesn't seem aggressive (rather, he seem scare by the 12" Crenichicla :)). Maybe we have only to give him trust...

You could have gone with an Asian. They don't get too big as well.

I would keep an eye on the jardini. New fish often behave tentatively at first. Once he settles in, he'll likely be the aggressor. Especially if the others don't beat him up first.

I would go for Gars. But yes watch out for the Aro there is no doubt that he will kick everyone ass out of the tank.
