Finally found some work around here so I'm going to be ordering a few small 3" pbass and was just wondering what would be some good tankmates. Would a 3-4" gar or a 3-4" senegal work? I already have a 7" senegal, would it work w/ them or should I keep that somewhere else until they grow? Are their any bottom feeders that I could possibly put w/ them? Like synodontis or anything? Thanks.

The smaller bichir should be fine. Id keep an eye on the bigger one even though senegals have much smaller mouths than endis. Some sm. polys are always a good addition. Endi's and orino's is the route I like.

Thanks, Gangster. I have my current poly in w/ my breeding pair of FHs and he hasn't touched the fry... that I have seen anyways. That could be b/c they chase him off also. I might just add a couple more small polys to the mix.

I keep severums, arowanas, and geos with my growouts...they all work as long as they are similar in size.

Are you ordering from Anubias Design? I ordered 4 orinos from him, and I have a plan for them...:)
