I got my hoplarchus psittacus today. she is in the tank and Nip the Severum is trying to be the bossy. Kiwi the h.psittacus is holding her ground. She has her own little cave to go to. The other fish are trying to work out a pecking order again. I hope they work it all out.

Here is the stock 5'x16"x24" 100 gal

1 EBJD 3"
1 Green severum 4"
1 hoplarchus psittacus 4"
1 Red severum 1.5"
3 pictus Catfish

What size tank do you think I will need to upgrade to once these guys get big?

Heres the new fish. after a long trip. Oh yeah she is from Grey at wetspotCX Said to be a wild caught fish.

awesome! as far as tank size goes, you'll want atleast a 72x18 footprint so a 125g min. im gonna look for a 180g in the future as my eartheaters get bigger. keep us updated as she grows. its funny how big their eyes are when they're small lol

Yes they do have big eyes it's so cute. Everything would be fine and happy if Nip the 4" severum could chill out. Kiwi the parrot wants to come out but Nip goes after her when ever she spots her. If kiwi would not run and stand up for her self it would not be a problem. I hope they work it out soon.

Thanks guys.
