Hi. I was happy when i joined mfk but then i realized... i have no monster fish lol. so i figured i want a sen bichir. I cant get to my good lfs that has all the cool stuff like exotic plecs, charax, aros, etc., so im gonna have to get this at petsmart.
I have a 38gal tank thats got a 36"x12" footprint and is 20" high. i have a BN plec, clown plec, single angelfish, clown loach (i cant get rid of it cause im 14 and my dad wont let me... people on 3 other sites have told me to get rid of it and i wish i could but i cant), swordtail (4 years old, should be on his way soon), 4 red and blue columbian tetras, and whiptail catfish (rineloricaria parva). i dont know if i can get a sen bichir... can i get one? i feed flakes, algae wafers, and wardley shrimp pellets to the tank daily and skip one or 2 days each week feeding.
 
the tanks full IMO sorry
 
So, the tanks completely full? I mean, i understand that i cant get a bichir, since it would eat some of my fish, but, i cant get any more new fish? Even ones with a low bioload? Did i mention my filter is an aquaclear 110 that does 500 gph?
 
Your tank is stocked and actually overstocked when th current occupants reach adult sizes-Anne

overstocked? the clown loach has been 4" for like 2 years and my guess is that he'll stay that length, and the swordtail is gonna be gone by the time summer's over (he turned 4 years old in like march).
 
yep i have to agree with the others im 13 only =D i got monster fish lol
 
yes it hasn't grown your stunting it growth in a tank to small but hey heres what you want to hear yes by all means get several you have a Sea World size tank there.Happy now?
