Mixing Palmas

[cr8on]

Can anyone foresee a problem mixing a 25cm+ palmas bichir with a 12cm Giant Gourami and a 15cm Senegal Bichir? The palmas is very deep bodied and fat.

I wouldn't worry about the senegal since I have palmas with senegal. Most bichirs tend to mix well with the exception of lower jaws in my experience. I don't know how your gourami will react to the bichir though.

I don't know how your gourami will react to the bichir though.

When I first got the gourami, he used to pick on the bichir a bit, nothing too serious, he still does occasionally but he mostly goes after my Uaru cichlid pair.

gourami will outgrow tankmates

I had a 16in RT Gourami with an 8in senegal and a 10in ornate, it never bothered them.

Sounds okay to me.
