Hey all, im looking for some thoughts on what i should get for my 7 inch senegal. in the past i have had her with:
  • bala sharks
  • albino tinfoil barbs
  • a single SA cichlid father who just because overly agressive, and so my senegal almost killed him twice before removed. reasonable size at the time.
  • long fin danios > quickly turned into food
  • a single archer fish for a while until needed to be more brackish
  • BGK and a larger peacock eel before wiped out form ich
  • a few 3" clown loachs before sickness
she has been alone for roughly 3 months and i feel bad but im not sure if im ready to have multiple bichirs (price and size). shes eating very well twice a day on shrimp pellets and massive with worm treats. just looking for some decent options for this 75g tall tank with fine sand.:)
 
Hi,
My senegalus coexists nicely with:
Ctenopoma acutirostre
Erpetoichthys calabaricus
Xenomystus nigri
Synodontis ocellifer
Hemichromis bimaculatus (solo, because a couple seemed problematic)
Bye!
 
I've 3 senegals housed with 5 African Butterfly Cichlids, A synodontis ocelifer and a red-tailed shark. Haven't seen any issues here.
 
I've housed my two 9inch senegals with clown loaches, striped Raphael catfish. 4 line pimodella cats. Jack dempseys. Silver dollars. My grow out tank I have two albino senegals about 4 inches long and they're housed with 2 ornates about 5 inches a teugelsi about 6 inches 2 african butterfly fish 4 clown loaches and 2 spotted Raphael cats And a rope fish, I've never had any issues with these guys going after the other fish just keep them fat and happy and they seem to get along with whatever they're housed with as long as its not small enough to fit in their mouths

Wow, that is alot of dead fish! Did your loaches by any chance stop eating and get skinny? Mine did that... Really weird... Anyways back on topic, I have my 2 with a BGK african brown knife gourami and blood parrot.
