Best tank mates for p.bass

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Currently I have wide bar silver dollars, and a black wolf with my bass in my 300g, and I have silver dollars and Heckelii with my bass in my 125g. I like the wb silver dollars because they have a lot of attitude and teeth like a piranha to back it up. Sometimes my bass push them around.....and sometimes they push back. I mainly use the same tankmates with my bass, silver dollars as dithers, and a large catfish of some sort as a clean up crew and it works out perfect for me.

Oh and Shelb, if your interested in some kels I think I know where some f1 Tocantins Kelberi are ;)
 
Kelberi bass, dats, and bichir
 
Large bala sharks do well with bass. I have 3 8-13".

My 220g has 2 pBass (the main attraction of the tank), 1 RTG arowana, 4 silver dollars and 1 Flagtail.
The flagtail does an amazing job of cleaning all the algae growth on tank surfaces, drift wood, rocks etc.
What I like about the silver dollars is,
1. They clean up very well after the pBass.
2. They are not shy and sometimes competes with pBass for food. This pushes the bass and aro to be more aggressive towards getting the food.
3. They are very hardy, when my tank was hit with fin rot, ich etc the silver dollars never got affected.
4. They can get a beating from bass or aro occassionally and they don't mind. They are back swimming around as if nothing happened.
5. My tank has sand substrate, they keep it clean as if it was put in today.
 
My favorites are flag tails, severums, sd, arows, ripsaw cats, and achara cats. I've got a pair of red terrors and they work good for me, but I wouldn't recommend for all.
