What kind of plants do you have tezr? I'm planning on using Cryptocoryne spiralis and java fern... so far LOL

Just some cheapo Brazillian Swords from Petsmart and some java moss and java fern. I got lucky and the sword in the middle of the 3 to the left is a chain sword and all the green up front are from it.

if i get a small bircher and put it in a ten gallon will it eventually grow big enough to put it in with jack dempsey in a 55 gallon.

i too am growing out a Sen Bichir. Was wondering about the African Butterfly fish, as they only get to around 4 inches, and the Sen gets 12+, wouldnt he eventually eat the Butterfly? I think the Butterfly would be cool as i have 6 daughters, they would like that.

With a dinosaur bichir would an African featherfin catfish and a golden algae eater all work as good tankmates together I really want to know because I am planning on putting them in a tank together soon

The algae eater may end up being lunch. The syno is ok.

Lots of variables to be listed.
1. Tank size ?
2. How big does each fish get at adult size ?
3. Which fish will become predatory as it grows ?

Algae eater will likely kill the bichir if it's the one I'm thinking of. The Chinese algae eater?
