Morning guys and gals of MFK. I have a 70 gallon tank in my bedroom that was my first serious endeavour into fishkeeping that has been running for about 6 months now with my pink tail chalceus, syno catfish and 2 african knives.

Unfortunately i am starting to lose interest in these fish and the knives are refusing to really eat pellets, they sometimes will eat them but usually ignore them. I might keep the knives if possible just for their behaviour.


Im looking to completely redo the tank. dimensions are 48" x 18" x 18" with an AC 110 for filtration.

What interesting fish would you guys suggest to keep? can be almost anything as long as it is not too large (9"+) and is fun to keep at all. They dont have to be compatible with the knives, that would be a bonus though.

Anything is welcome :)
 
a school of exodons. a cichlid sp. a pygo or serra sp.
exotic turtles. hoplias micro. and etc etc just ignore
stuff i already said in the other thread lol

Unfortunately exodons and hoplias are non-existant in SA, turtles are also illegal...

that sucks...

all turtles are illegal there?
 
As far as i know, without proper licencing which is hard to get...
 
thats a shame... turtles are awesome.
 
I will look into it a little.

Anyone else have suggestions?
 
Go natives.
 
try a leopard puffer, toadfish, baby whale fish.. look on petsolutions.com they have a great selection
