Ideas for 120-180

[silverknight]

I was wanting to acquire a bigger tank and I was wondering:

1. In your experience what bichir would fit comfortably in that size of tank.

2. Would they get along with my 2 senegal's

3. what other fish could i put in the tank with them

thx for your help

1. In your experience what bichir would fit comfortably in that size of tank.
any of the smaller upper jaw species in the primer should work
2. Would they get along with my 2 senegal's
Most likely but theres no guarantee just watch any new additions carefully for any signs of agression and be ready to seperate them
3. what other fish could i put in the tank with them
In the primer theres a list of possible tankmates divided between upper jaw and larger lower jaw species-Anne

so you are saying that lower jaw species aren't a good idea for that size tank?

I don't like mixing larger lower jaws with smaller upper jaws.He already has senegals-Anne

if i keep the senegals in a 30 all to themselves what could i put in it thank??

cichlids do great with them

depends on the footprint of the tank,
180 i think 2 endli and a lap would go in there nicely with some other tankmates

 

[silverknight]

tank would either be 4x2x2 or 6x2x2

what bichirs do you what?

120 long 6x2x? hieght is not a huge factor go with the largest footprint you can
