FIRST OF ALL WELCOME SIR. WELL I CAN SEE FROM YOUR STOCKLIST THAT SOME OF YOUR FISHES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE, THAT SNAKEHEAD COULD VERY WELL EAT MOST OF YOUR FISH. THEY GET HUGE. AND WHAT IS YOUR SPECIFIC CATFISH? I'M AFRAID YOUR TANK MIGHT BE TOO CROWDED.
 
yeah tru that boi just found some info about snakeheads and apparently there gonna get ginormous i was told they are rainbows and would grow to 12 inches but they cant be they have strips in there fin not spots i think i got a problem :)
 
welcome to MFK! your going to keep getting posts nit-picking at your stock list. by no means are any of us trying to me rude, just trying to guide newer keepers in the right direction

let me see if i cna break this down a bit for you real quick while both my kids are screaming in my ear :)....
3 angel fish--aggressive community/species only. can be nasty for their size since they are a cichlid afterall
1 catfish--depending on type, could get gigantic
1 crayfish--could be a feeder for other fish, will eat small fish
4 clown loach--eventually get huge, will get along with many different fish, like to be kept in large packs of 6 or more
2 rainbow snakeheads--should be species only
6 zebra danios--community, can be mixed with larger more aggressive fish since their so fast
10 red eye tetra--community fish
2 coolie loach--community fish
1 catfish loach--thinking you mean dojo/weather loach?
1 dwarf gourami--community
1 honey gourami--community
1 kissing gourami--community

so it seams your current tank could/should be broken down into a few different tanks to best optimize their care, or sell/trade a few fish for others that would fit better.

you need to figure out what type of catfish you have also. it could be one that stays small, or it could me a mega-monster like a red-tail.
 
i agree with everyone else those snakehead are going to end up eating a majority of your fish.

btw nice tank, i like the way you aquascaped it.
 
lol yeah true and after seeing the size they can get to i think they will need a bigger tank (snakeheads) i use to keep birchers with all the above fish it was ok with the birchers but they would eat all danios + tetras as they are new to the tank i like having pred fish as well as having some fairly normal ones its fine at the moment can someone look at the photos and try to distingguish the snakeheads they told me rainbows but am unsure so what am i gonna do? lol
