Dixon1990 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 i would get rid of the yellows too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 What size is the tank? If it was me, I would keep the yellows. & get rid of the 1 fire eel, 1 bgk, 1 leopard clentampoma (excuse spelling). :lol: The yellows really don't go with the rest, angels will be better. I would probably trade the clown loaches for smaller ones. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K R Brown Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 ok 96cm length 45 width 52cm deep yeah clowns not that big 6cm might swap so thinking of getting rid of yellows for angels are they compatable with pictus etc and want to get tyre track eel and possibly panton butterfly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 tank is eventually going to be too small imo :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K R Brown Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 all the fish are small at moment will swap when get bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd get rid of the electric yellows and the clown, keep the good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 get rid of the electric yellows. The tiny bristlenoses will probably get eaten by the other fish in there. Otherwise the list would be fine, including butterfly and angel (assuming the tank size will be upgraded in future). Be warned ctenopomas like to eat other fish!

David R Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Be warned ctenopomas like to eat other fish! So do fire eels, pictus cats and BGK's. Get rid of the yellows, they're really the odd-one-out, and keep the other more interesting fish. :lol: I'd leave out the pantadon, angels and tyre track eel. Two eels together could cause problems when they get bigger. Maybe get a few more clown loaches as they do better in large groups. *edit* BTW the correct spelling is ctenopoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I missed the bit about tyre-track eels. Yes I would agree, stick to one or the other not both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 ctenopoma What are they :oops: Are they known by another more common name? I love electric yellows, don't have any, but love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
