Hello, I am new in monster fish keeping. So, I have some questions. I have a 110 litres tank. I want to stock it with some predator fish(one or more). The tank is working, the nitrogenius cycle is complete. I have a small pleco in there (around 10 sm long).
 
the plec will outgrow that tank, and what are the dimensions? I would say a chaca chaca catfish for that tank.
 
65l/45h/35w (in sm) The pleco will outgrow it but for now it's fine. I was thinking about several pacus small in size and keeping them till they become too big. After that I think I would change them for smaller ones.
 
I like the chaca chaca catfish but i dont know if it is available in our fish stores. It looks like an ancient hunter. Is my tank suitable only for bottom dwellers? Any suggestions for other fish will be appreciated.

don't get the pacus, not any people will be able to rescue them.I think a chaca is a great predator that reaches a small size, however it is rather inactive. what kind of fish do you like?
 
Buying fish you cannot house long-term with the intention of rehoming them later is generally a bad idea, especially with common species like pacu (the only exception to this is rare and/or slow growing fish that are more valuable at a large size).

I have no idea what species are available in Bulgaria, but there are many smaller predatory fish that could work, Nandus nandus or Pantadon butterfly fish for example.
 
Actually, I like active fishes who hunt for their prey like the snakehead ,piranhas and other like them. But if i can combine the chaca chaca with something more active it would be great.
