bottom ffish w/exo's

[dreamandscheme]

i know this subject has been brought up many times, but i havn't seen many answers. my tank is currently 12 exos and a common pleco in an 85g (18"x18"x5ft). my planned stocklist is 30-40 exos the pleco and depending on your input:

1xalbino senegal
3-4xrope fish
1xfire eel

i know they all have a chance of eating the exo's, but i'm planning on buying them small. thnx for your time

youre better off going with a small school of loaches or small cats with the exos.

the senegal will definitely snack on the exos
the fire eel will probably eat them as well, when the eel gets big enough to swallow them.
and the rope fish is at risk of being picked apart or stressed to death.

but hey... maybe you will get lucky

also, you will want to check the water parameters of any fish you are thinking of adding to your exo tank.

The rope fish will probably eat them aswell if it gets big enough. I had a lot of success with Botia.

which small cats do u recommend? besides cory's and loaches

Corys and ottos are gathered from the same waters a the exos and will do well in a captive environment if done right. I have done both with great success.
