What Next?

[Flumpus]

I've got a 75g tank that recently became available (returned all the cichlids because we were bored). It's got a lot of holey rock at the bottom, and a very tall piece of drift wood on one side, that provides a decent amount of space for things to hide. It's currently got a 7" fire eel and a 5" ornate bichir. So, my question is, what next? I read CFC's profile of the false saimese tiger, and would love to get one of those (it said minimum 75g for a single adult), but would it be ok if I got it small, to grow out with the fire eel and bichir? Also, these fish may be moving to a 180g+ in a year or so. I think they'll be fine in the 75g until then, and maybe for life (the fire eel concerns me a bit). Anyway, any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

The siamese tiger should be a great addition with your current fish and they are very slow growers so dont pose any problems of outgrowing their tankmates or tanks.

Great, thanks CFC! I'm looking forward to adding a little saimese tiger
