hey all, Im new to using forums so forgive me for any mistakes I may make. I just got a 125 gallon tank and would love to do a lima, can anybody suggest suitable tankmates? I am also new to this site and its a lil complicated to navigate so if there is already info on here about this please point me in right direction thnx
 
This should be in the catfish subforum, not the Catfish Media Lounge. Anyway, lima shovelnose cats will do fine with anything that won't eat them, be eaten by them, or be overly aggressive towards them. I have two limas that are around 8" with a 6.5" senegal bichir, a 13" tire track eel, a 10" sailfin pleco, a 16" silver arowana, a 15" red belly pacu, and four bala sharks ranging from 6.5-9". BTW, welcome to MFK. :D
 
Limas are great but can be very shy depending on the tankmates. Make sure you dont choose a tankmate that is overly aggressive. Limas do great with one another as well.
