Well Im at a point where I want to add another poly but really dont know what I want. For those who know me I have the feeling that an endli is an endli, a lap is a lap, so even with the variants out there they are pretty much the same fish in the end and not that different enough for me to get another of the same type.

My tank is 300g (96x24x30 footprint)

The stock currently is
Cichlids:
Pearsei 14"
Red Bay Snook 11.5"
Heterspilus 6.5-7"

Bichir:
Teugelsi 11.5-12"
Weeksii 13"
Koliba lap 13.5-14"
Dabola endli 16"

So what poly to add? Opinions?

Is a Volta endli different enough from my Dabola endli?
Could I house a pbb in there? What about an ansorgii?
 
CB Ansotegii is my suggestion.

It'll keep the sizes close together. The reason I suggested this.

Do you have a PBB? If not, then get one.

If you do, then get an Ansorgii.

Should be a flowchart.

So I see many of you guys recommending pbb, ansorgii and congicus so I guess you guys feel that my 24" wide tank is okay for that?
 
what are you referencing ?

You het working on the new one yet ? How thick is it again ?

Which do you like ?

I like the ornate suggesrion but im pretty sure your thinking lower jaw
 
Im anti ornate, dont know why, always have been, lol. Then again I hated endli for the longest time, go figure. But yes lower jaw is the way I want to go.

I guess my main concern is size of poly in my tank more than anything else. That is why I really did not even think of a pbb or ansorgii previously.
 
Lol have no idea why all those quotes got inserted lol

I would pick congi 1st but you know im partial.

Yeah he hates ornates been saying that for a while...he hates endli tooo lol

Sorry D had to
