Hey guys I have a feather fin and it's about 10 months old now. I was wondering what other fish would go great with it and why it hides all the time.
 
Not to sure what gallons converts to but it's about a 600 litre tank
 
That's around 130gallons. I'm a litres man myself lol.

Is it the only occupant in the 600?

No there is also a turtle. I am redoing the tank as a wedding present to my Missus
 
Could be worthwhile looking at cichlids with the size of your tank your possibilities are quite vast.

With the feather fin being an African catfish I would look at possibly setting up as an African cichlid tank. Putting an African twist on the decoration.

I have featherfins with africans and SA/NW cichlids. They do hold their own very well. They can be very shy and hide unless it's feeding time. Mine were like that for a few months. Now they "demand" that I rub their bellies when I do my tank maintenance.

I've heard turtles with africans could be an issue, but then again, anything with africans is really a toss up. Just depends on the individual fish's attitude. You could have a group of red zebras, some would be mild mannered, some would be evil little buggers.
 
African Feather Fins look amazing... But I wanted to ask a question before I make any type of decision on whether to buy one... The ones I see at petsmart seem to be really chubby around the stomach, is this normal? I mean I've seen some round fish before but they seem more chubby then round...
 
Mine looks chubby right after I fead it. These fish are awesome, mine will come to the top and swim upside down to eat food with my Africans! Good luck. :)
