Well my uncles friend decided to buy my hybrid back to breed. My 75 now has a 2 sun catfish and a tire track eel. I know how big the eel gets and will watch closely for any stress. Im wondering if a couple of the smaller bichir species can be added to complete the tank? Let me know what you think and any ideas. Thank you

a group of Exodons?

Never had them so I don't know if they will bother the catfish or not...

Good idea

Butis Butis! I keep a Ctenopoma, African butterfly, rope fish, an Butis Butis among others in my 55 gallon oddball tank all get along fine with each other.
