Hello, am hoping for some help on schooling fish.
I hope this is the right section.
The tank will be at a minimum 75g, but we are looking at a 125g, just waiting on the guy to get back with us on dimensions. The tank will be planted.
The stocking plan for the tank is:
Brown Ghost Knife (Apteronotus Leptorhynchus)
Leopard Ctenopoma (Ctenopoma Acutirostre)
Angelfish
Delhezi Bichir
Palmas Palmas Bichir
Palmas Buettikoferi Bichir
I had planned on 6 congo tetras, but they are expensive so I am trying to find as many other options as possible.
Here is my list so far of suggestions I've found and in parantheses my concerns on them:
Congo Tetras (Expensive)
Upside-down Catfish (Not sure on location in tank, possibly expensive, dad doesn't like)
Rainbowfish (Expensive and spook ctenopoma)
Denison/Torpedo Barb/Roseline Shark (Expensive and streamlined so possibly eaten by bichir, prefers subtropical)
Tiger Barb (May be eaten by bichir and likely nip angelfish)
Rosy Barb (Cant find accurate max size)
Silver Dollars (Eat plants)
Giant Danio (Streamlined so possibly eaten by bichir, possibly prefer subtropical temperature)
Gourami (Not schooling, but could be kept in a large group such as 1M:5F, could be nippy towards the angelfish, feelers could be nipped by bichir)
I know I am being very picky, and that is exactly why I am asking for some help.
HERE is my other thread if anyone feels like looking at that and possibly answering other questions I have with the stocking.
I very much appreciate and look forward to any responses!
