as for catfish - hoplo cats are awesome. they aren't scared of bigger fish and when i ha mine they would swim around all the time even with the lights on

would love some, thing is trying to find them:irked:

I'm always keeping my eyes peeled for more geos:D




Also, I figure I would restate that if I find something that I really want/have to have, I will trade in some fish, and I am putting my Hemiodus in another tank. Just for people who think my tank is alittle overstocked, which I know its getting to be.
 
Maybe a black ghost knife?

Not sure I'd chance adding another chalceus, they can be a little nippy with each other. From what I understand if you want more than one it's best to have several.

As for the stocking/overstocking discussion...you have plenty of filtration but my concern is when your uaru get bigger you'll be pushing it. I mean, they're not on the oscar level by any means but they're pretty fair crap factories.

yeah, I think I am going to trade in the chalceus because of that reason.

think I may get a BGK thing is I've heard that you pretty much have to wait until they're larger before you'll see them during the day

true, the uarus eat a bunch, my 8" one was making it hard to feed my old 4" cichla temensis:irked::nilly:
 
You could do some neat bichirs in there if you don't mind the African thing
Also you could do a chaca chaca catfish or a Lima catfish

was thinking about a LSN... I just don't know. I guess I'll decide based on if i can find any of these fish that people are recommending

ok that's cool I know pets Inc told me they had Lima cats in but had sold out
