Butis Butis

[giant19000]

Info,tank mates,growth rate,and foods...
Right now predator is 2-3 inches long he's very active,also blends in with the wood,sand,filter,and goes upside down under the floating plants
He is currently eating bloodworms I threw in some small guppies in case he wants a live meal... I would love to add another small butis butis in the tank with him with lots of plants and lots of wood and caves think it work??

Lol I'm sure you want other peoples in put too but I'm not sure how many people have a Butis. My Butis is a perfect member of my semi aggressive community tank (ctenopoma, ropefish, angels, severum, loaches...)I'd just say don't mix with aggressive cichlids. Mine is a slow grower only about 1.5-2" in a year.
Have you noticed how they use there pelvis fins like hand? Using them to grab on the anything mine will grab on too air tubes an chill upside down for hours

just google it and you'll find some helpful information. supposedly cannot be kept with other butis butis.

Here one source that popped up: http://www.seriouslyfish.com/profile.php?genus=Butis&species=butis&id=662

I wouldn't do the barracuda they don't like fish that are similar shaped and are active swimmer. That might be why your old one picked on the Gar.
