Hey All! I need some advice on how big congo tetras need to be to be added to a tank with full-grown ctenopomas please.
I have a 120g tank with 2 full-grown ctenopomas (7 years old) and have been working on re-doing the stocking a little bit to build more around them and make it an African region tank. I have a group of 11 congo tetras to add. Just letting them grow a bit to make sure they are big enough. I think the males are safe enough, but the females are still smaller in stature.
Tank stock:
2 Ctenopomas
4 African Butterfly fish
5 Ropefish
1 Baby whale mormyrid
2 bn plecos (not african, but gotta have a pleco or two in every tank, lol)
3 bengal loaches (I know, from India, but these are leftover from the previous stock and will not be replaced when aged out - currently 6.5 years old)
And adding 16 congo tetras (have 5 more juvies that are definitely too small)
Thanks!
