In regards to the thread that was just closed

[rumblesushi]

And the fools that criticised me, my objective is not to simply pit fish against each other. I like to try and see if fish are compatible with other fish, and the only way of doing that is by putting them with other fish

When I was seeing if my wolf was capable of living with other fish, I had him with a bichir and a hujeta. When I thought my wolf was getting aggressive, I sold them both as I knew if it came to it they would not be able to defend themselves and they'd get killed easily. I didn't want that to happen.

So the only fish it's currently with are my oscars, who can defend themselves.

I also seperated my little channa from my jardini and peacock bass when it became clear they had no chance against the furious little channa.

I'm just making it clear I don't think it'd fun to pit fish against each other and kill each other, I am just testing compatibility.

There is not a problem with "experimenting". However people frown when you mix species which have been proven to be incompatible.

i havent a clue about the other thread. But every fish is difrent just like people. What me you or somebody else tried might not have worked but becauseit didnt work for us doesntmean it wont work forsomeone else.

For instance i have the folowing together your gonna say it cant work but i beg to differ
1 wolf fish
2 jags breeding pair
1 african lungfish
1 polleni
1 lapraide bichir
1 palmas bichir
1 ornate bichir.
and a pleco in the pair tree.

never have any aggression except the polleni wastoldto stay in thew corner!

in myoldtank i had jags and midas both breeding at the same time in the same comunity 150, there was also catfish bichirs uros polleni chren alta pike and some other fish in there to and never had anydeaths from fighting.

You never know until you try.I once had an oscar that kept a female betta as a pet(he grew up with her)He ate feeders bigger than her every day and killed anything I put in there,but never touched the betta.

IMHO,

Even a proven combination that has been labelled as failed doesnt have to stay that way.

People told me a 2 arowana comm tank was impossible. But i tried anyway and did succeed.

Hell... as long as you do not kill your fish by all means try. You may get the right formula. And that would benefit everyone.

I could not have said it better..

 

[AmazonPredator]

I agree...

I've got all kinds of crazy fish together. Everyone says that dorado are super aggressive and will tear up tankmates, but mine is just a cruiser and doesn't pick on anybody. On day 1 he roughed all the cichlids in his tank but after that he just minds his own business.

I have a 12" clown knife, a 12" jag., a 12" albino channel cat. and a 12"ish silver aro and they pretty much all mind their own business.....the jag gets bossy once in a while, but never too agressive
