New Member RTG tankmates?

[jhong789]

hey guys new member to monster fish. Here is a pic of my rtg which i picked up about 2 months ago. What do you guys think?

Also I've been looking into getting a tankmate, i already have a ornat and 2 motoro rays. I　wanted to get something to swim in the middle level of the tank, what do you guys recommend? I originally was gonna get a fei fong, but heard they will suck on my rays.

You can go with datnoides for mid water swimmers.

tigers huh? they will be ok with my rays?

 

[Chaitika]

I've never heard of tigers bothering rays.

and my birchir would be alright you think?

I keep 4 tigers, including one 11" long, in my tank with 3 bichirs. As long as the bichir is not bite sized, there will be no problems between them.

kool i think ill get one. do they like to school, or being kept individually is ok? how big do they get? and how fast do they grow?

 

[Chaitika]

They can school once they settle their hierarchy, lol. NGTs should ideally be kept singly. ITs seem to be shier than the others. But for the most part, tigers do well in groups.

They do just fine as individuals.
