I'm wanting to change up my stock a bit this week and wanted to ask a question on my new stocking idea...

Can you keep a Senegal Bichir and/or a Red Shoulder Severum with Angelfish?

My 3 Marble Angels are: 5" 4.5" and 2.5"

They are currently sharing a tank with a school of Lamp Eye Tetra (10) and Guppies (4)... I know that these will have to be moved.

The Bichir is about 7 inches or so and still pretty thin (when he gets too large for the tank I will be re-homing him)

The Severum is only about 3.5 to 4 inches now and he will only be in the tank until he is grown out to size for my main tank (until he's about 6 inches).

Tank is a 56gal.

So, can it be done?
Is it a bad idea?
Has anyone done it succesfully before?

Thanks for any info.
 
the severum could get pushy with the angels. They can sometimes be a little agressive. You will have to nmonitor the situation.
 
dont get the bichir if youre only going to re home it later -.-
