I was thinking of a Kribensis pair, my only free floating fish is a leopard fish.. don’t know if compatibility would be an issue

Should be fine. My kribs don’t mess with anything outside their size range.

Where did the puffer go?

but I was thinking, a Bichir might be able to eat kribensis and Congo tetras

Depends on species. Congos are probably too fast but yeah, anything 14 inches and up can easily take a krib.

you never know. a sleeping fish can always be preyed upon. I wouldn't risk it. Best bet is to keep some medium sized African catfishes of synondits group.

Maybe African butterfly as a top fish. Bichir shouldn’t venture towards it.

Puffer was given to a friend, wouldn’t leave my bichirs alone! And most of the bichirs in here will eventually need to upgrade to a larger grow out. The PBB has become a sausage link so he’ll get moved first. Thinking the 10 inch mark, how quickly does that happen, I’m not sure but a 220 is ready

Yeah somewhat worried about the filter current on the top, def want some more mid tier action it’s dull

I would keep an African community tank without bichirs. Give 'em their own tank because this way you can add more types of smaller fish into the African community tank.
