Hi guys. So, my Oscar passed a week or two ago and I haven't done anything with the tank yet...Which might not seem like long, but this is the tank that I'm looking at every time I'm in my room, so it feels like it's been a long time. The fish I have, that I want to keep, are two Delhezi Bichirs, and one Geophagus Altifron. I'm planning on selling ONE of the Bichirs, once he's bigger.

I was thinking of adding two or three more Altifrons, I think they're so pretty. But besides that, I don't know what to do with it.

I don't mind being a bit overstocked. I do, at a very minimum, two 50% water changes each week. My general rule of thumb is, the bigger the better. And I really lovveee colorful fish..

Any ideas?
 
i agree keep the dels, maybe add a third, get your altifron group up to 5 - and then if you want a topswimmer figure something out that works around that
 
Agree with the above maybe add a red tailed prochilodus. In a 100 he will be o.k. but just one as they don't play nice together. 5 Altrifons would be great as I had a tank like that and they were all over the place, Fun tank to watch.

Red Tailed Prochilodus, isn't that a flagtail? Don't they get too big for a 100?

I'll definitely bring the Altifron number up to 4 or 5 - don't want to add another Bichir. Like the ones I have, but that's enough for me until I get a new tank, some time in the future.

Need some large-ish, colorful mid/top dweller ideas! :)
