Advice on my new Cat

[Hendre]

I've seen them called that on Wikipedia. I've heard them called Korean Perch, Leopard Perch and as Wikipedia refers to them as depending on color morph Golden Mandarin and Leopard Mandarin fish

Oh wow. Yeah I love these guys

Rosy Barbs, sorry not my style. Too small and a little too common for me. I have considered a tank based on a specific biotope but not low tech. I've been thinking about getting long, wide but fairly shallow tanks for a little while and focusing on catfish and pikes. Some of which live in fairly shallow fast moving water which I think a tank based on that kind of environment would be cool to watch

I got some because I wanted something easy. Tanks unheated and they can survive with a paradise fish, I'm not bothered by the rarity of my fish. If I enjoy it I'm happy

Thats a good idea. African debauwi cats would make an interesting stream tank and is something I would like to do, pelvachromis would be good too for that.
Pikes as in pike cichlids?

It's a pain to stock tanks, I have to decide what i want for the next 15 gallon I'm fixing up as a very simple tank, maybe just collected rockery and so on, and mosses. Tough choices

I'm sure things will perk up

Sorry to hear bro, atleast you tried the best you could. You'll get through it. Your idea with the pikes sounds like a nice set up, would sure be interesting to see, your good with aquascaping to, I'm sure it would be a sight to see
