Ideas for 75g fish ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yes someone is confused here, dels do not get that large unless maybe pulled out of the wild at that size.

DO NOT try erys w/ cons even if they can't fit in their mouth mine has grabbed a 4 inch gymno balzani when he was 6 inches (they're about the same size as cons) and thrashed the hell out of it, killing it and ripping off a good chunk of its stomach area.

Very aggressive towards fish they MIGHT fit in their mouth too, keep that in mind. Mine is housed with an ornate bichir, a gold dust bichir, and a rope fish. The only one not bigger then the ery is the gold and he is 6 inches so only an inch short, he won't be bothering him. Mine has done very well with large bichirs. He sees practically anything else in the tank as a snack

Doesn't delhezies grow like 22"+?

nope they don't. The only lower jaw polypterus that can grow up to 22"+ is the ornate. Most of the upper jaw on the other hand may go for that length. But so at it seems, more of the poly's in the hobby won't make it through their potential length. Even senegals the most popular bichir around now may just go at 10-12" inch. In the wild they say that 16" is the ave. Also we do have short body variants of the albino ones available that are always available.
 
Hmm maybe that 22" delhezi I saw on here was wild then. I do remember seeing a member having one 22"

which channa is the most aggressive ?

Well for one you should keep channa as species only. They arent as aggressive as cichlids so of you're looking for aggressiveness snakehead isnt really the choice. But what i read about the teo given gachua is the more aggressive towards each other but a 75 is big enough to have little aggression
