Hey everyone this is my first time starting a thread here at MFK. I am just getting back into the hobby after moving and selling all my old tanks. I just recently purchased a new 75 gallon tank (48x18x21) and it's currently cycling. I also have a DIY sump, thanks to MFK's great DIY section. I would appreciate your guys input if an Oscar and Birchir would be suitable tank mates in a 75 gallon.
I would like to start a Tiger Oscar out as a juvenile with it's juvenile markings still intact. It'll kind of be like a surprise to see how the adult markings look. I would also like to add a Bichir in with the Oscar. I want one with a little color, unlike allot of the Senegals I have seen. Also, preferably an upper jaw or one that will remain under 13".
Do you guys foresee any problems with this? I was thinking of getting the Bicher at around 4" and the Oscar around 1.5". Your input and suggestions for a Bichir would be greatly appreciated, if it's possible. Also, what kind of bioload does a Bichir make? Hopefully nothing like an Oscar. I also do not plan on getting a bigger tank for a long time.
You guys should of seen the face the female associate made at my LFS when I asked where the Bichirs were located.
This was before I knew how to pronounce it, but it was priceless.
