Polleni cichlid?

[rockyofhockey]

I have a 40 gallon bow front. With a albino bichir a leaf fish and 2 Bolivian rams. What good size cichlid would work well in my tank. Also I would upgrade one all the fish get too big

Should do for now that polypterus will need some floor space when he gets bigger

Not now my polypterus is 4 inches. And all my fish r babies but what SA cichlid would work or other fish

Mm not to sure is a leaf fish a type of datnoid? Bc those tend to get big also I have a 55 gallon with a full grown oscar a green Texas and my pup yetis and they've been fine for some time now if that helps you any

No it's a leopard ctenopoma. And could u attach pics of them ik what the oscars r but those r just too aggressive. Thx

Wow beautiful polypterus. Unfortunately mines and albino and mine won't get that big the piggery he's getting is 8 inches

 

[Brandon D.]

That's about where's mines at right now I'm guna upgrade him into a 100 soon.... Hoping he will hit around 20 inches

Yea see urs gets bigggggg and I would never keep that in my 40 but mine would always be that size so he's good

 

[Brandon D.]

Ya I feed him shrimp pellets and nightcrawlers surprised he dnt grow quicker

 

[rockyofhockey]

Mine is growing crazily. Got him when he was 3 inches a month ago now he's 5!!! And what were the cichlids u had with him

 

[Brandon D.]

Green Texas and an oscar but I'm thinkin about getting rid of the oscar though

Would u recommend the green Texas for me?

 

[rockyofhockey]

Anyone else have ideas

 

[Brandon D.]

Prob not they can be mean sometimes

 

[rockyofhockey]

I can get them as babies and growing up with the fish do u think they'll learn to live together the Pollenis and green Texas have gorg colors

 

[Brandon D.]

They could that's what I try to do with my fish also and I honestly haven't had issues so then you may be good

 

[rockyofhockey]

Ok cool I might try it the place I was talking about has every single fish from all over the world!!!! It's only freshwater store too

 

[rockyofhockey]

could that fish work too? If not then green Texas it is!!

 

[Brandon D.]

Wow that's a new one for me me never seen one but from what I just read they are very tolerant of different waters and such sounds good
