- Start date
i have pacu and piranha both red bellies and just added a snowflak eel think all will be well?????he had a small piece of tail snipped off but seems to be fine any suggestions?
I have a 150g tank consist of 5 oscars, 5 crayfish, also 4 rbp's, 3 red ear sliders. largest fish being 4 inchs, smallest 3 inchs.
Yesterday 3 rbp's died. After being in tank for 3 months.
filtration 1 fluval fx5, 1 aquatop cf500uv, undergravel filter .
my rbp's was fine all that time then out the blue there gone, but they did good with the tank mates no nipped fins or missing fish so im lost , all water tests was good.

Here's a little diff idea...
I do not keep p's, but I have a fish that seems to be an option that has worked for over 2 years in my predator tank with zero issues.
I have a really aggressive 18" Mono P. Bass, 2ft Silver Aro, two 12" Tiger Oscars, a really super pissed of RB Pacu, a 12" Spotted Shovelnose and a Large Red Tail Cat. Obviously all fish that love to eat other fish. In fact my Redtail cat, when he was only 11", ate my 10" Senegal Bichir.
The thing I'm getting at is, I have a 24" Gymnothorax Tile. He has always been smaller than his more aggressive tankmates, but has never been nipped, bit, or eaten. I think I have figured out why.
Fish don't eat him or look at him as a food source, because they have toxic mucous and slime coat. It's more poisonous than venomous, I guess.
Give them a try, just slowly acclimate your p's to about 1.008SG, and add him/her at night.
Truly awesome fish in their own right.

can i introduce a 9"rhom into a monster tank containing:-
2x 14" giant snakeheads
1x 20"giant snakehead
1x 13"black wolf fish
3x 13/14" mono p.bass
Do you think this combo could work?
All the other fish get on fine
cant really dedicate one tank for one fish, but on the other hand dont want to loose any fish.
