Just forgive "hebe" He's only 13

And annoying as ****!

Hey, how about Bichirs and Dats? Thought I'd add one more suggestion of fish you clearly stated you didn't want.

I agree with JL.... With that said, go in on the group buy for the 3 black aro's from Rich with me. You can take two... I'll take one. PM'ing you.

you gotta get fish that can man up n fend for them selves. Lei's are not your basic swimmers all the time. they are austrailian aros, and carry a bit of a temper. not quite jardini "i wanna kill you" temper, but they like to chase.

do not add some severums or discuss or "colorful fish". it'll be dead by the time the aro hits 14 inches. its only 6" for now so it might work for a bit, but my leichardti would kill any weakling fish i add that can't fend for itse self

clown loaches, botia loaches. big enough to not get eaten.

That's why should let he used to living in community tank. Your Lei is 20"+, live by itself in a tank with bottom dweller, so he doesn't learn how to share!

i was thinking about clown loaches but i remember my last silver ate 3 loaches i had. the loaches were 3-4" and i had them for over a year. i bought the silver when it was just 3" and it reached 12" in about a year. he decided to snack on his buddies... i found it funny that i raised him with neon tetras and he never ate them... strange.

i'll look into the severums. what about those geophagus tapajos cichlids? they look pretty cool. would those work?

Those geophagus will work, too. Just don't get those aggressive cichlids, cuz they'll drive your Lei nut, and he'll go after them.
