Crenicichla notophthalmus - just bought one :)

[Wills88]

Hi need some tips on Crenicichla Notophtalmus I just got one from a shop and added it to my 135g 6 foot tank, tank mates are

1 Female Nicaraguan
2 Belum Severums
1 Mouth Brooding Severum
4 Geophagus Winemilleri
1 Agenisous Catfish
5 Annostomus Ternetzi
4 Red tailed Hemiodus

let me know what you think, will the pike clash with any of the above in a serious way or should I just calm down lol?

This is my tank fully stocked now IMO filtration is 2 FX5s

thanks Wills

Sounds like a nice list to me. I would love to see some pics of the winemilleri. I have a pair Regani in a 120 gallon with a similar mix and I was worried the Regani would get eaten but no way. They are swimming around with all the rest of my fish and aren't the least bit intimidated.

mate I love you

So glad to hear its going well Lets see how mine goes, just about to release him into a cave Ive just built for him.

I think Im more scared of what he will do to my other fish, he looks full grown and is actually a lot bigger than he looked in the shop - which is ususally the other way round.

Got some lemon tetras in there at the moment but might take them out if they start disapearing....
