Whoo. Finally put some fish in my tank.

[NigelK8485]

I ordered from liveaquaria, it sent out yesterday and I received it today like...12 hours after receiving the shipping confirmation email. Finished acclimating them.

One little green severum

I got 11 of these boesemani rainbows, unfortunately one was DOA but the others are all very active and seem fine

Then an albino Senegal bichir. Sorry for the dark picture, I don't want to turn on any lights yet.

How large is the tank?

 

[NigelK8485]

150 gallons. I'm planning on adding an oscar after growing the rainbows and bichir out a little.

But these rainbows are quite the characters, I may bypass the oscar for something less risky with them.

The oscar would probably get a ill grouch with em. Maybe red head gels?

I love my rainbows, especially the boesmanis. I think the Oscar thing is not such a good idea. They can get very territorial and aggressive.

I meant to say red head geos

 

[NigelK8485]

Yeah I'm probably going to skip the oscar. I was looking at getting some Uaru but I don't want to lose all my plants. Do you think a Nicaraguan cichlid would be okay? According to what I've read they're relatively peaceful and should do fine with the current stock.

Bolivian Rams and Kribensis have always been favorites of mine

Haha yeah I figured. I googled red head gels just to see if it was something I didn't know about. Unfortunately I want the bichir to be the sole bottom dweller and I'm just not a fan of the eartheaters despite how nice they look.

Idk if this will work but maybe a festivum?

 

[NigelK8485]

I love festivums and was actually looking at them but I was wanting something large. I think I'm going to try the Nicaraguan out.
