Senegal Bichir

[halfbloodprincess]

I have a 29 gal. tank that the angels could go in. That stocking sounds good to me.

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Ok so out of this:
4 angel fish
2 bristlenose plecos
1 senegal bichir
2 firemouths

What should I buy first? I only have $25.00 to spend on extra things for the tank. I plan on buying plants and some of the fish listed. I have cycled the tank, and all I need is to finish decorating it. What fish should I buy first, and would leave me enough money left for some plants? I don't need alot of plants since I am going to take some out of my already running tank.

I have crossed the firemouths off my list.
it is now:
4 angel fish
2 bristlenose plecos
1 senegal bichir

Have you already bought the fish? And what else do you want in the tank. You have a little room for something else.

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Well I was wondering what I should buy first. Also yeah it seems like the tank will be a little empty... What can I add?

 

[randallhart]

How about adult congo tetras or killifish or another large tetra? Or a pair of keyhole cichlids.

you could add some glass catfish. they get to like 6 inches so i think they wont be eaten

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Well I have decided, for the sake of the fish in my 29 gallon, that I am going to transfer them into the 55 gal. As you can see my stocking isnt very good.

4 corydoras
2 yoyo loaches
1 pleco
1 rtbs
3 platys
1 honey gourami
1 betta
3 black skirt tetras

It really isnt very good. I could add some fish to this though! What oddball could go with this?

Ok forget my last post. I have changed the stocking in my 29 so that is all settled. I went to my lfs and I have found the senegals to be very expensive! So back to old stocking but - the senegal too! What odd balls go with this?

4 angel fish
2 bristlenosed plecos

An African Butterfly Fish.

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Ok so:
4 angel fish
2 bristlenosed plecos
1 african butterfly fish
6 yoyo loaches

Anything else?

 

[severum boy]

Why not a couple more Butterfly fish?

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Very good idea. I have never had them before, so how many? Maybe three?

Also I have always wanted rams. I just think they are adorable for some reason. Two of them?

 

[randallhart]

If you get rams, I would suggest 1 male 2 females.

 

[severum boy]

Three butterflys would work fine.
