75 gallon tank

[The Masked Shadow]

They clean off the walls, but they poop a lot. Get them if you wish.

I know they are a great algae eaters kind of a perk but not the only reason I want one. I get they poop a lot but they stay 5 to 6 inches its not like owning a common plec. Plus I love the bristles males get makes them very unique and cool in my opinion I'm definitley getting one haha!

You may have to increase that bichir count from 2 to 3+ if you start to see aggression between the del and sen.

Do you think my tank could handle the current stocking idea with 2 sengals instead of 1?

Maybe, but that's dependent on how much water you are willing to change to keep nitrates below 20ppm.

I'm looking to just do 60 percent weekly honestly

An additional sen should be fine, I would test nitrates once a week for the first month and base your maintenance schedule off of the test, then as the fish grow I would test once a month to make sure the schedule is adequate

Okay awesome so something like this for a final stocking should be fine!?
2 Senegal bichir 1 albino 1 regular
1 delhizi bichir
12 congo tetras
1 bristlesnose pleco
1 larger gourami

 

[Rocksor]

What is a larger gourami?

 

[Deadeye]

Keep an eye on the albino sen. Generally cb sens are smaller (8 inch), but albinos can be as small as 6. That may wind up as a meal for a 12 inch del.
