Thoughts on stocking?

I don’t know as I never kept hujetas. However, I doubt it as my guess is that adult Colombians are just a tad too large and tall. Others may know better.

How long does it take for them to reach max size?

Will hujetas prey on the Colombian Tetras?

They may try, I had a 5” hujeta eat a 3” Madagascar rainbow fish and try to eat a 2” bosmani rainbow,it couldn’t get it down but the bosemani still died. That’s why I said to give the Columbians a head start on size.

My older hujeta went from 3”-7” in a few months

Thanks but I was asking about the Colombians

My juvies grew from 1.5-3” in about 6 months and I bought some adults around 3” that didn’t grow much more

are pictus catfish compatible with plants?

 

[Fishman Dave]

Yes

 

[SmokyCartoon]

Yes

What plants would you recommend for a beginner like me?

With a tall tank, giant vallisnaria is always a good choice. Many of the hygrophilia are easy care and grow fast. Limnophilia is again a fast growing type. For something for the front, most of the cryptocornes are easy care , although slow growing.
Java fern and Java moss both have their uses along with anubias.

I’m currently setting up a 29 gallon tank and was planning on putting lucky bamboo and pothos in there. Would either of those plants be able to go in the 150g?
