New 120

[BichirAddict]

I'm hoping that I getting a 120 gallon tank this summer from www.glasscages.com.

I need to know has anyone had any good or bad experiences with upon tank deliver. And if you don't mind me asking what was the price for shipping and handling. Tank dimensions 48x24x24.

Also I need ideas on tank companions for the oscar and senegal bichir in which will be moving in. Would like to get some more bichirs was looking at the ornate,palmas,delhezi, and more.

Will try to post pics upon delivery and setup.

Does anyone like me.

Can't help you w/ shipping price etc since I bought my tanks from a local fish store. For bichir tankmates I would go with delhezis. My Senegal is much to small to put in with my ornate so I can't tell you if they'd get along or not... From what I've read though ornates are a bit more aggressive and also bigger than sens or dels so it'd probably be safer to go w/ a del. If I were you I'd probably add an albino senegal and a delhezi.

Hope this helped.

Will probably add a delhezi if can find.
That did help quite abit and will not be getting an ornate.
Thanks tRiP

no problem. Will you be putting the eel in with them as well? I have 2 peacocks and a fire eel in with my senegal and haven't seen any aggression towards the eels, then again my sen is still pretty small, might be 4-4.5 inches

Thought about it but then I thought once the oscars gets to 10" or so will he still be okay or would he have a probablity of getting eatin.

My senegal and eel are like best friends and have been since I got them. Eel is 6.5" and senegal is 5"

hmm that's a good point. think it all depends on the size of the eel. They can get into some pretty tight spots where the oscar can't but I wouldn't want to be thinking about it every time I'm not near the tank to be keeping an eye on things.
