Good scavenger fish with cichla?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sweet I've got them in a75 right now. Would one endli be enough? Do they exhibit any type of aggression with other fish?

A lot like other fish. If it fits in their mouth they will eat it. They will fin nip a little if the fish is borderline. They are really cool when they get big. I wish I had one.
 
I have a leiarius marmoratus catfish with my cichla. I think they are perfect tankmates for cichla. They grow to the same size as cichla and at roughly the same speed. He eats every little bit of food they drop. He even sucks food of the filter intakes.

Nice cat Tim!

I like my bichirs in packs for easy clean up. But one is a start.
 
I wouldn't mind a group of bichirs...I really like the ornate bichir and the endli. I was never sure how they did in groups?
 
bichir..
 
i had two endi in a 110
i really like them they stayed with some oscars,
on the plus you really dont have to be worried about them
in regards with other fish being too aggresssive to them,
they hold their own farely well, they will eat feeders if
dropped in, my 12'' at a 3'' flowerhorn, so watch out
for smaller stuff
 
Still debating on it... I like bichirs a lot but I have this OCD thing about my fish all being from the same geographic area. So I'm gonna look into some fish that I think would fit the bill from the area my bass are from. Thanks for all the suggestions though!
