Xingu I compatibility question.

[Mystus Redtail]

I have a pair - 14" male 10" female. I can barely keep them with each other. They mistook a 8" red Petenia for a feeder... and the Petenia was already established when they were introduced.

I'm sure with a larger tank (this one is 5' 100 gallon) they would mix well with larger CA's/SA's.

I had 3 juvies back in the spring and they were fine with about everything., liked to hammer on each other but otherwise fine.

That is encouraging. I'd be looking at putting him in a 125 with some SA Cichlids I think. I'm really sort of undecided at the moment, that's why I'm looking for good info like you posted.

it's usually easier to put crenis in with SA/CA than it is with other creni's. You're just going to have to try it and see how it works.
