Leopard bushfish in a 10g?

[Nabbig2]

Could I keep one in a 10 gallon? It seems like an interesting little fish. Also, would it be compatible with black kuhlis and neon tetras? Thanks.

10G might be a bit to small, id go for a 20G minimum if not 30..

Also, they have massive mouths, would definitely wind up eating the neons and possibly the Kuhlis at some point.

The leopard ctenopoma is about the max you can keep in a 10g, they are slow growers so a younger one should do fine if the the tank is nicely planted. It is NOT compatable with smaller fish or coolies. It will enjoy them as snacks.

Dangit...even kuhlis, huh? Wow, it must have a big mouth. Oh well, I'll get one some time in the future. Thanks for the info.
