I think either the polypterus or the ctenopoma. I did a waterchange and im gone feed them every 2 days from now on. So that they will leave the little lima alone. He seems better now, he is kind of floating above the wood and resting on the wood.
well his face got scratches aswell so I think he was bitten by something else then the eel. The bichir got teeth and he doesn't eat the food I give him well(he is kind of stupid I need to handfeed him otherwise he doesn't really eat) So I think he did it.
dayi can be aggressive but its only against his own species. I keep rope eels with him and he never attacked one of them. I can't seem to find the hejuta on the ground so I think he got ripped apart and devoured.
luckily the lima is stil alive and he seems to do fine. The only thing he is swimming with his head down the whole time. Is that normal? first I thought he had that floating problem but that doesn't seem to be it. He can swim normally but he just stays vertically. Is that normal my lima from before didn't used to do that?
lima is still doing fine... but now I got another problem.
First of all one of my ctenopoma died, it was the smallest ctenopoma I had.
I think the bichir did it. Probably the bichir also took the eye of my aver knife fish. Or it could be an infection. What do u guys think?

1 ctenopoma

Was a really cheap deal, got him for 15 euros.

rare shot of my polypterus, normally hes hiding so I dont get to film him often
My tank is quite full with wood. Its perfect because I have a lot of fish and hiding spots are nice so they dont attack each other.
But when my fish grow full size, do u guys think its better to remove the wood so they have more swimming space?
the stocking right now is:
1 serubim lima
2 bullhead catfish
1 pikecichlid (I dont know what type it is, but its a smaller species)
1 hypostomus plecostomus
2 gold eels / Erpetoichthys calabaricus
1 ctenopoma aucistrus
1 mastec. dayi
1 polypterus orni.
