tankmates? - Aquarium Advice

whitetiger_CJ · 02-24-2005, 03:37 PM

I currently have leopard ctenotoma or a bush fish in the tank. the tank was set up to their niche. However, I am having trouble thinking of compatable tankmates. Any help would be appreciated. oh, the tank size is 20 [acronym:8fbbba91ad="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:8fbbba91ad] high. with only live plants and a piece of wood.

That fish will definently outgrow that tank, it should be in at least a 50 [acronym:c61629a38e="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:c61629a38e] when fully grown. It will eat smaller fish and since it's a labrynth fish I wouldn't suggest getting other labrynths, as they may nip and/or fight. They should do fine with fish that are too big to eat.
