Anyone keep these before? I am really leaning towards one to go in my 55 (still cycling). I was also thinking of a Senegal Bichir and possibly a buffalo head. How does that sound?
Know nothing about a buffalo head but I had one in with my datnoids and polypterus with no problems untill he got about 5" and grew some balls. I had to get rid of him cause he would confine my NGT datnoid to one area of the tank and would attack him when he would eat or try to venture out from his driftwood.
He was the only fish in the tank that I never seen any of my datnoids go after.
I miss him, he was a really cool fish but he had to go.
Once I started feeding him shrimp I couldn't get him to eat anything else.
I don't know anything on the Buffalo Heads either, but I've had a Ctenopoma with Sens, ABK, and Congo Tetras before. It was fine. Very shy, but after awhile, it became more adventurous.
I have 2 Ctens (4-5" RANGE) in with a EBJD, Firemouth (ROUGHLY SAME SIZE) and four smaller albino sens. I have had zero confrontations between the leaf fish and the sens!
The Firemouth use to be a barbaric ruler of the tank until the EBJD finally fought back. After a weeks worth of *** whoppings the EBJD is now king of the tank, but never is agressive toward anything. The firemouth is still relentless toward both Ctens, but does not mess with the albino sens anymore!
