Tankmate suggestions

[shovelnose]

My larger tank right now is a 125g. Filtration is an Eheim pro II 2028 connected to a couple of marineland biowheels, an Eheim Wet/Dry 2229, a Quicksand fluidized bed filter, and a couple of aquaclear quickfilters. It currently houses a 20" silver aro, a 14" tiger shovelnose ,an 8" redtail cat, and an 8" bumblee cat anyone have any suggestions for tankmates?

your tank is well-stocked already, i wouldnt think of adding any more large fish, and small fish will be devoured, and in 6 months teh tank will be drastically overstocked. look into more tanks, not more fish.

most of your fish can get 36"+ I would be thinking of a bigger tank first

"Jesus H Christ, WTF sort of Micky Mouse sh** is this?" ~R. Lee Ermey~ Ummmm....yeah.....agreed, tried a RT Cat and didn't even have the other cats you have. You might get a month or maybe a couple before they're exploding out of the tank. Although, I never believed how fast they grew till I tried keeping one. HELLA FAST....RUN

I agree w/ you guys about the tank i'm working on something bigger but those cat's only grow as fast as you let them i've had the shovelnose for about 2 years now, at their size they only need to eat about once or twice a week

I got my RTC 5 months ago at just over 14". He's now 18". And, that's with only feeding him 2 to 3 times a week. How do you plan on stunting yours? You already got the "get bigger tank" response from multiple posters. I don't think you'll find any responsible fish-keepers that will tell you anything differently.

seriously...thats cruel...

if that logic was factual, keeping hordes of monster fish in 10gs would be a common practice wouldnt it?

i wouldn't want to guess about all the internal organ problems your tiger shovelnose has...
