I'm playing around with an idea in my head, we have all kept species that can be difficult to feed and may suffer from being kept with more aggressive feeders, i'm talking about some bichirs, Eels, Mormyrids etc
so I'm thinking of setting up a predatory tank for just fish like that and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some interesting stockings of fish that would co exist nicely, It will be a 75g but potentially I could upgrade or just switch them into my 120 at some point and downsize on my geos into a breeding pair or small group.
I was thinking of providing live food often, trying to wean the fish onto pieces of fish meat or seafood possibly massivore.
Iin terms of stocking I came up with a few suggestions of oddball predators that don't tend to act aggressively towards their tankmates
Xenentodon cancila (needlenose gar), Hujeta gar - top level predators
Peters Elephantnose, baby whale, Mormyrid - Mid swimmers
appropriately sized spiny eels species, senegal or delhezi Bichir, Black ghost knife possiblt although I hear they can be aggressive - bottom dwellers
Any cool ideas?
