Yeah Im thinking of raising them until big enough to hang with my arowana. I want a nice community schooling fish in the predator tank. Its either this or tiger scats...but $$$ if I want a school of tiger scats. Widebar silver dollars are just too big n aggressive eaters.

Good idea. Im still looking for a larger topwater dweller that can compete with my pink tail for food. I dont think archerfish are good for a 70 so ill keep on looking

You can keep one in a 70g. Why do u want a top dweller to compete with ur pink tail Chalceus?

It needs to be able to feed fast, the chalceus chows in no time. Chances are i might sell him due to activity levels in a 4ft tank, or if he spooks he might hurt himself
