Strange Mix..

[tasha.jl]

I have a trio of red bellied pirahnas, i also have a common pleco and an albino catfish.
The pirahnas get along fine with the other fish.
I was just wondering what my chances would be, to succesfully add a clown knife fish in there as well.
I am VERY interested in this fish, and I don't think that my pirahnas are quite as agressive as most.
I have a 90 gallon long, my grandpa said hed be willing to trade me for his 110 gallon.
Mine is heavily planted with lots of java moss, and lots of driftwood and hiding places.
so? should i try it out??

What us the albino catfish? is it a bristlenose?

 

[demonmagus]

don't think you would get a clown knife in, they are't hardy anyway and I think the p's would kill it.

Then again - finally somone with p's with a big enough tank

i wouldnt go for it. knifes, most of the time, are the dominant fish of the tank. putting it with pirahnas would mean harm to both the knife as well as the pirahnas

Damn, i was so interestred in that fish, I'll take your guys word for it. well maybe in a few years ill get one... Is there any other fish that might get along with my pirahnas? Ive heard some types of cichlids?

about the catfish, i don't really know what he is, i bought him at a cheap lil store for $4.00 he has sparatic moments where he goes nuts to all corners of the tankl, and then he goes to the top of the tank and back to the bottom. heres a pic, hes about 1.5" and hasent grown since i got him 6 months ago.
It would be great if you could tell me what he is?

looks like an albino corydora to me

 

[Feral123]

thats looks like an albino cory, you may want to get some more of them to go with it since they like to be in groups

 

[starrynightxxi]

yep, definately an albino cory, probably aeneus, though i'm not so skilled in cory lore to be positive. Check the catfish subforum corydoras, they'll be able to give you all the info you need. hey do prefer groups of their own species so try to find out what it is exactly and go get 'im some friends.

 

[VampirePlec]

Albino cory, need bout 6 of these they are very happy socializing fish.
