hey everyone just wanted to show the pic of my new lima shovelnose. I looked for a more exotic cat for my 220 gallon but in colorado we don't see some of the exotics that other states do so I decided that this was the cat for me. He is about 4.5" long and eating great already. I am growing him out and quarantining him in my 29 gallon for a couple weeks but I will move him soon. I am curious if you guys think I should buy another of the same size or not? I have my arowana, 4 lined pictus cat, gold nugget pleco and freshwater moray eel so far. would 2 lima be to many or not? well thanks in advance and here is a pic

2 would be fine

they are soo cool
mine loved earthworms

nice pick up
 
ide like to see a pic of a lima thats over 18 inchs. ive never herd or read antyhing saying they can reach 30 inchs. and in another thread we had discussion about there max size and biggest anyone seen i beleve was like 14 r 18 inchs and that took years to attain
 
I did alot of reasearch on this fish and never found that they attain a lenght of 30". although they might reach that length in the wild if they live a very very long time. I have him quarantined right now but he will go in with my silver aro,gold nugget pleco, freshwater moray, and four lin pictus cat.. I am trying to think of some good mid water fish to add but I want somthing fairly exotic does anyone have any thoughts?
