Final 75g bichir tank stocking thread need your Ideas

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
so new idea I have always loved the spiny eels mostly the larger ones so I was wondering if I dropped the butterfly fish could I raise a black spot in the 75g until its like 20-20" then move it to my 125g? I know I said African biotope but it would not be permanent and then get the Butter flys?
 
Don't see why not, my black spot is more than capable of competing with similar tank mates as yours for food and doesn't seem to disturb the greenery of the tank very much either.
 
i tried anubius for some reason it did not do well
Anubias are basically tank (military tank) of the plant world, I’m surprised you managed to kill it. I’ve grown some in near darkness.
 
It's all about tap water chemistry. Not all aquatic plants due well in all different types of water chemistry.
That certainly would explain how I’ve managed to kill duckweed and other impossible to kill plants...
 
ok so my only issue is possibly over stocking the 125g the stock would be two oscar a Jack dempsey common plec and the black spot but if I ran three canisters
a rena a eheim and a fx6 or fx5 and did 50% wc weekly more or less accordingly would it be fine?
