mermaid0508 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hi there I have the following fish in a 60 gallon African biotope tank 3 ctenopoma 2 synodontis nigriventris and 1 pantodon bucholzi any suggestions on what might go well with these fish? Thanks mermaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Is it a 36" or 48" tank? If it's longer, then a school of 6-10 Congo Tetras would be great - they get big as far as tetras go, and I find do better in longer tanks. If you get them small, they might entice your other fish out more - I'd try to find small ones. Large ones may be a bit too boisterous for your shy fish, while small ones would normally be snacks for predators; so, if the small ones are out schooling around, the other fish may feel safer.

mermaid0508 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 hi Jason, it's a 48" tank, I have tried Congo tetras before but they didn't survive they were a good size too. All water parameters checked out fine so I know that the water was good. My husband who has been in the hobby for a very long time suggested Arnold's characin as a possible addition. We are unable to locate any. Do you know of any LFS that may carry them. Thanks Mermaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Your best bet for Arnold's is to keep an eye on importers lists - maybe Spencer Jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo3l Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Big als in edmonton has congos, they are tagged at an arm and a leg. Noticed a few good looking males but there were only about 4 in the school of 20+. All under 1.5 inch so juvies. Also I know if pet cetera still exist they can get them periodically.
