moke are really slow growers and you will be lucky to get 1inch of growth in a year, you won’t find any locally, most likely have to spend ~$140 shipping included from wetspottropicalfish. They have 6” ones. It’s probably half the thickness of your del, I doubt it could eat it. The possible problem you would have is more likely territorial aggression.

you could get a synodontis waterloti from AFD, or if their synodontis nigriventis (upside down swimming syno) are big enough not to be eaten

They are quite slow growers! I can easily find a del nearby that is medium size. Now I want an oddball like a mokele from the Congo river basin that stays on or close to the bottom. And wouldn’t tear up plants.

Why get another del? If you’re ordering a moke, you might as well order an african brown knife or African butterfly fish. Shipping doesn’t change, it’s a flat $40 fee overnight from wetspot

Or african spiny eels at AFD

Could I get both fish for 40 dollar shipping?

That's what rocksor said.

$140 for one bichir?? WTF

Adding a moke would be very nice, but it’s advised to get 3 or more bichirs to prevent aggression.

One of my friends got a moke for $75sgd that's only about 55usd lol. I guess freight charges add up.

Sorry krismos, where are you from again? How do you know so many peopel from Singapore? ??

 

[Krismo962]

My uncle lives in Singapore and I used to visit a few times a year (until covid struck ?) that's how I got to know most of them.

If I buy a mokele, then I would want something else coming with the mokele, because from what I heard, they have a lot of fish. If this was you, would you get 3 bichirs or 2 with something else and why?
