New stocking help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
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?
2 with something else because it’s always nice to have a change in pace/activity in a tank. Everything laying around all day can get boring.

So then I guess a large African butterfly fish. I’m just wondering if sparky would eat a small butterflyfish.

In total, with tax and everything, how much will the mokele cost for it and to ship

I would suggest 3 bichirs in total minimum. 2 bichirs alone will have aggression. Made the mistake of keeping ornate with a delhezi with no other bichirs, the delhezi constantly got injured and it’s fins torn.

maybe consider gettinga Senegal and a moke, with an African butterfly as a top dweller.
 
I have an Aqua clear 75 and a biochemical sponge filter/air stone. I want to get plants later, and my normal water change is weekly 50-70%. I can easily step it up to every 5 days or every 4 or something like that
 
How much media does an aqua clear hold? My filter holds about 1500-2000g of media and it handles the bioload of 5 bichirs and a few other fish just fine ( no detectable ammonia) but you might need to increase your water changes.
