In the next 2 weeks I'll be getting my first "big" tank. I'm getting a full 150gal setup. I already have a smaller tank in which the inhabitants will be moved into this large tank. Inhabitants are:
2 - Blood Parrot ( 5" and 2.5" )
5 - Rainbow fish ( 3-4" max )
2 - Glass catfish
3 - pictus cats
1 - Eclipse cat
1 - pleco 5-6" (not sure if he's common, was labeled that in store but he looks different than my past commons)
1 - silver dollar (1.5")
1 - Peacock eel
1 - comet goldfish (this goldfish is older than most of the fish but only about 6" and has been living in the tropical tank since before I lived with my spouse)
I am not a fan of the FH (the head lump weirds me out) but they are sort of pretty and my spouse LOVES them even though we've never owned one. Our LFS had 1 FH juvenile the last time I was there. I know they can be aggressive. My BP is NOT aggressive or territorial.. he's only pushy when it's feeding time.
Would a FH be compatible with my tank? The decor will be full of caves and plants (artificial) for the smaller fish, but I know there's a possibility of them being food once the others start to grow. I also intended on getting the Silver dollar some friends (5 more silvers) even though he hangs out with the rainbows while at this small of a size. I also wanted to get my glass cats some friends but I dunno if they will all just end up dinner. All of these fish have lived together quite a while and get along quite well (except the single silver and eclipse who were rescued recently).
