tankmates

can we keep geophagus thread fin and pearl geophagus together?

Hi all, I'm going to be trading a friend for a smaller tank soon and would like some stocking suggestions and such. I'll be trading one of my 60 gallons for a 45 gallon. The tank residents are two silver dollars and a red zebra cichlid. I already know the silvers need to go and mbunas...

I have 2 green sunfish, one is 2" the other is about 3.5" Each one has established one side of the tank as their territory They are both in the 70gal, with a few decorations for hiding. Not the final setup, just until I get a stand for the tank (its on the floor) Tank Dimensions are around 48" x...

Hi guys. This is my first post.. I have a 615liter I think it's about 160g. I started it as a community tank with 2 bgks(one about 25cm and the other about 20cm at the moment), one pleco(about 30cm) and a couple of other community fish like black neons, neons, glowlight tetras, a few glowfish...

My brother is currently setting up a 120g (24”x24”x48”) tank and after seeing my BGK has really decided he wants to get a knife of his own, right now the tank is cycling with just some sand/rocks/manzanita wood in it. I gave him an FX6 to filter and soon I’m bringing him a ton of easy plants...

Ok, long-time reader but new member to MFK, so I apologize for any faux pas. I've finally picked up my own silver arowana, under two friggin' inches! I've been eventually planning for one so I've done a fair amount of research (and or course have long-term plans for housing) but the biggest...

Here is the problem. I am an American and I live in Israel, in a small town in the Negev desert. Despite this aquariums are a common hobby in this town and there are 5 pet shops in this small town of 40,000 people. However the variety of fish available are limited and tend to rarely change...

Hi, i was thinking of doing a large cichlid aquarium but i have some concerns about aggression in the tank. The fishes i had in mind were 1 green terror 1 red terror 1 electric blue jack dempsey...

So as I have been rearranging my tanks I was thinking of moving my Pundamilia nyererei in with my Spiny Eel. It is a Mastacembelus frenatus that is about 5.5-6 inches long. I have kept it with Cyps, but you can keep them with most community fish. I have wanted to put the eel in with my Lake...

Hi, I'm setting up a 75 gallon aquarium with a Jack Dempsey as my main fish. I would prefer two, one male and one female, along with some Cory and Ottos as a cleanup crew. I would also like to add a minimum of six schooling fish that a nice to look at can hold their own in this aquarium. Any...

Hi! I am thinking about stocking options for my 210 which will house polypterus. I was going to put in 4 american cichlids (JD, severum, firemouth and EB acara) but decided I just want to just have 4-6 oddballs in addition to the polys. The small albino sen will also go with the cichlids in a...

Hello, im a new member here and not so experienced with many types of fish. I did a little research before purchasing my bichir and peacock eel but haven't found any tank mates that catch my interest. The pair are in a temporary tank, soon to be moved into either 200g tank or 120g, but for...

I have a dinosaur bichir and a peacock eel in a temporary tank right now, they are both about 3". I'm sure this has been asked before but what would be some good tank mates for a 200 gallon tank? some mid-high swimmer fish that don't hide much and some cleaner fish? and what other bottom...

I already have a 4.5inch male flowerhorn,aggressive but not too aggressive wondering do you think a humpback pufferfish of similar size would work with him, I'm not concerned about the puffer it's the flowerhorn I'm more concerned with so what are humpback puffers like with fish bigger than them

has anyone had any luck keeping a silver arowana with a fire eel? Want to put them together in my 225 gallon

I have a 90g where I'm planning on breeding firemouths. I want to add another species. I would love to add a severum, but I think it would be too much for the firemouths to handle or vice versa depending on size. Would a jack dempsey or a texas be too much for the firemouths even if they are a...

Wondering if anyone can give me info on striata snakehead I've seen a 5inch albino for sale would it be OK with: Mala wolffish 4inch Peacock bass 3inch Tyre track eel 7inch Marbled sleeper goby 4inch Indo datnoid 2.5inch Thanks

This is my first post here so I hope it's in the right category. I've got my first big fish. A 12 inch oscar. He was a little bit of a rescue amd impulse buy as the fish store couldn't get him to eat. He is temporarily in a 40 gallon tank and I do daily water changes (about 50 percent) Temp...

Hello, I am thinking of setting up a 75 gallon tank with an Electric Blue JD and a black spotted eel. I am going with this eel as it is one of the only true freshwater eels I could find. Others needed brackish water. Does anyone have experience with this/ think it will work out?

So after a lot of financial distress over the past couple of years I am finally at a stable and comfortable point. I have bought a 125 gallon tank and it's currently cycling and will be for around the next few weeks. I got a peacock Eel from a friend who bought it on impulse and had neither the...
