A few of my other fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Trust me that won't happen. The clarias and bichir have been together for about 1.5 years, always with about the same size difference.

I know clarias have a bad rep, but he is the most active and most harmless clarias I have EVER seen. Not aggressive in the slightest, and his favourite food is floating pellets. The biggest fish he has ever eaten is a molly.

Put it this way, I have grown 3 bala sharks from 2 to 6 inches with that clarias ;) And there is also a mystus catfish in that tank, at a slender 4 inches, happily sits next to the clarias sometimes, a 6 inch pictus too.

The most that ever happens between the clarias and the bichir is the creamy bichir sometimes bites the clarias' side and the clarias' dashes off like a mad thing.

I got the clarias at about 5 inches btw - does anyone know what clarias it is? Fuscus maybe?


Rottbo - yeah the loisellei is pretty cool, it's a pretty fish for sure. I've had it since about 5 inches, to be honest it just looked like a smaller, duller version of this fish. Didn't look much like a jag, well maybe slightly like a female jag :)
 
Thanks for the compliments, the JD has quite strange colouration and tones, it's a nice fish. Used to be a psycho, but now it's fine.
 
BTW sorry for the aquascaping or lack of. To understand what its's like here, I can't buy sand, a background for the smaller tank, driftwood, or plants. lol.

The small bit of sand and driftwood I brought with me from England :D
