bothell, wa
so after a horrible death of my 3 monos:cry: I'm starting over. but this time i want a larger variety of amazon fish. I'm getting 2 3in monos and 2 3in tems. for now i have a 200 gal that they will go in but I'm in the process of building a 700+ tank which will be done in about 5 months. so i want to start growing out some fish. can the pbass be kept with red tail barracudas. if not whats your best suggestion for the coolest tank mates they could have.
 
well the coolest fish kept with a pbass is a pbass haha just kidding, all i can add to this is i had a Pleco that was simial in size to my smaller pbass but i woke up this am and he was upside down ripped apart and i feed them every day so they thought he was food or didnt like him... so no pleco haha i have a florida gar with mine and all is well just a opinion of mine! Good Luck
 
look at dieselmack's vids.
His catfish (petrodoras granulosus) is definitely the coolest thing you can keep with pbass.
I've seen motoro stingrays with pbass too.
 
ahh!! you beat me to "more pbass" lol. i would go with an aro or something like that. idk though, DMack's tanks are freakin unbelieveable. so if you want to go that route just get the coolest sp of pbass you can find and get a few large catfish.
 
Go with some cool cats... Or alot of people have Dats with theirs also.
 
since youre going with a SA setup.
i'd get rays,payara(but may grow too slow),fw barracudas only get to about a foot or a lil more depending on species.
the pbass may eat them.
aros,some SA catfish.
but at the small size there may be so many fish would not be compatible.
 
My 3 4" orinos killed a 5" payara. It may work sometimes or most of the times, but didn't work for me!
