Dojos, Suckers,and Plecos Oh My!

[zeke the black ghost knife]

as you all know, i had a pictus catfish. because zeke (deceased ) and mr. whiskers always were fighting, i got rid of him. now im looking for a replacement. here are some possibilities im listing:

dojo loach (next black ghost will choke on them? )
suckerfish (err.....not so sure i want these )
more corys (der.... )
kribesis (yes yes, i probably cant get one, but why not give it a shot )
GROUPER (lol just joking! )
pleco (um....already have a albino bristlenose, not sure about this...)
ssshhrrriiimmppppppppppp.....(so cute! not ghost shrimp, cause bgk will eat them)
blue lobster? (not sure of bgks get along with them, and i heard they eat small fish.... )NOPE. (james_fish says so.)

*NOTE THAT THESE HAVE TO BE OK AND FINE WITH THE FOLLLOWING FISH:
black ghost knife fish
peacock eel
red lyertail
rosey barbs
buenos aires tetra
corydas catfish
red tail black shark
albino long fin bristlenose pleco

i am really hoping if kribesis are compatible with my fish and can fit in........what do you think?

My first thought is looking at your current stock I see your fish eventually falling into one of two categories- diners and dinners.

BKG- this fish gets well over 15 inches and tends to eat any fish that can fit into its mouth- which means tetras, corys, rosy barbs. This fish is a night hunter and uses a weak electrical sense to locate its prey- it gets them while they sleep.

Spiney eel- grows to 8+ inches and will eventually be able to eat most fish under 3 inches such as Buenos Ares tetras which max at 3 inches. Many corys are also smaller than 3 inches.

I would suggest you do a bunch more research on what you have listed as well as potential tankmates.

wait wait wait wait.......wills is the one who told me to put my stock this way.....der! well, wills told me that i should have this....blah blah..this is getting of topic...

what will be a good replacement for my pictus catfish i gto rid of

As stated you really need to sort out your current fish, do you really want anymore to die? Especially in a nasty way of being eaten by a 'tankmate'? Because I certainly wouldnt want that to happen.

I apologize- I took your list to mean you already had all these fish in your tank which prompted my comments. I did not realize that you did not actually have the ones not in red. I am not so sure how the alf will fare longer term but I am glad to see you are not keeping the smaller fish in the list with the "red" ones.

Sorry, I have no clue who wills is. I would note that too many bottom dwellers in any tank will result in issues, like a dead pictus. I do not believe you should put more "bottom" fish into your 90 given the bkg and the eel pretty much use up the space when medium size and will need a larger tank in the longer run. My suggestion is to get someting like giant danios, acaras or larger gouramis for the tank.[font="Arial][size="3"][/size][/font]

aagh.....no no no no no no no.......... the red ones are NOT dead! the only one thats dead is the bgk. agh...... the red ones are highlights of important things to concern. and luckily, my bro is getting a 75 so im moving the smaller fish in his aquarium. so, this stock is temporary. soon, in a few months its gonna be this:

1 bgk
1 peacock eel
1 red tail shark
1 albino longfin bristlenose pleco

and then my replacement for my pictus.

and note that the pictus IS NOT DEAD. i gave him to a LFS because i couldnt put up with him anymore. and the reason why bgk is on the list is because im getting one soon.
