The right crenicichla?

[Keemofish4ever]

Which crenicichla would be best to get too keep with my geos clown loaches n tigrinus catfish? I really like zebrina, cincta, red pike

Concha will swallow those loaches. There are two different red pikes out now. Atabapo will be more inclined to snack on your loaches but aren't as robust as the cincta. The tapajos ones that are out are also a larger pike but is the least robust of the three and likely to work better short term with the loaches. The Zebrina will be safe with your loaches.

My opinion by rank if money is no issue is:

- Zebrina
- Tapajos 1
- Atabapo 1
- Cincta

I meant Cincta, not concha, Cincta will swallow your loaches.

Here is a video on how big cincta can get. Atabapo. And get almost as large.

Yeah that's what I figured I would prefer the zebrina more, they are just harder to get and more cost...

Rapps and snookn21 have tapajos 1. It's a great fish.
