What Would You Do?

[Stump]

I have a tank that needs a tad more fish. My 40g Breeder, which is practically empty looking because my catfish always hides, my severum like to hide unless she wants to eat, and there is nothing else in the tank.
What would you put in there?


The catfish is full grown at around 5" (maybe a bit more), and my severum is around 3".


Any suggestion will be heard. I just want some ideas.

It's a 36"x18"x16" tank for those who don't know.

I was thinking about moving my silver dollars to the 40, and finding something to put in my 29g with my Angelfish...

Either way, I want to hear some suggestions.

id put some sort of midwater/upper water fish to drag your severum out of hiding

+ more bottom feeders

leopard ctenopoma are shy themselves though...I think he would have the same problem he is having now.

more angels

I know what you mean, but i'm not sure what to add. lol

I have thought about adding some cories, but to my 29g. The leopard ctens were something i've considered aswell, but like dbcb said, they are quite shy normally.

Giant danios

I'm pretty fond if this idea. I loved the school I had before. If I end up buying them, It will be a BIG pack.

more angels

Hahaha... I've never had a problem picking myself up some angels if they look healthy.







The 18" width of the tank makes me want to get something to put it to use... My sev is staying in there though, so I don't want any problems...

Ive never kept a rainbow wolfish..I think that they can be shy but they are pretty active when they get settled in. I have a hoplosternum thoracatum and it is really really active. It grows so fast its unbelievable! It is the fish in my avatar


I dont know if the sev would fin nip them but threadfin rainbowfishes could be an idea...
