Tank mate for Senegal.?

[MommyJulia]

I have a tank with an african brown knifefish and a senegal bichir. They get along pretty well. They are currently in a 55g tank..which I will probably get them a bigger one in the future. I was wondering what else could I add?
Suggestions, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

leopard ctenopoma make good midwater fish for those bottom feeders

also, check the bichir primer for tankmates

ctenopoma useually work they can be some what aggressive how ever it may pick on your ABK if its bigger

african butterfly fish (good top water fish )
less aggressive cichlids
other polypterus
catfish
can't think of many others right now

Thank you guys! You know I was thinking about that kind of fish, didn't know what it was called. Saw one at my lfs but they didn't have a label for the fish. And now I know the name...thank you

Pretty much anything that is too big to be eaten and is not aggressive. Even though bichirs have that "killer" look and will gladly gobble down a smaller fish, they really are not aggressive and should not be kept with other fish that are aggressive towards them.

I am keeping mine in a 55g with a green terror cichlid and they seems to get along
