kuhli loach Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 The tank's a 120x50x50 and I would love one of these weird little guys that could go in this size tank. Any suggestions? I'd like it to be a planted community tank so nothing that wishes to devour the world please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculator Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 An elephant nose, or a pantadon butterfly? I love odd ball's but for some reason I am having trouble of thinking of non-preditory one. Maybe that says somthing about me..... I would say a bichir they are peaceful, but they will fit anything that fits in there mouth, and they have massive mouths, so it depends on what else in in your community.

F15hguy Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'd go butterfly fish, and build a stand that is knee high, so you get a good top down veiw as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 you like kuhlis obviously so why not an eel, fire eel or tyre track eel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhli loach Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Too big, or so the book I'm going off says. Apparently they can grow up to a meter in length and need at least a 150x60x60. But they are awesome looking. :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculator Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yea, the eels will be to big, but do you have a school of kuhli's planed for your tank stock list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 eel + ctenopoma + butterfly fish + smaller bichirs + a school of something large and fast moving like congo tetras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yip, its advisable to have a good lid set up as they will get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhli loach Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 They'll eat stuff though won't they, like barbs or tetras, or kuhli loaches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikBok Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Yip, its advisable to have a good lid set up as they will get out. :iag: we had a good hooded lid and our spiny eel still got out ! we had some foam padded around where the electrical cables powered the heater etc and he must have squeegeed his way out though that! Heard the cats running up and down the hall one night, didn't think anything of it till the next morning and no eel in the tank! he was a cool little guy that we hand fed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
