I have a 150g tank that I plan on setting up, but need some advice on the type of fish I want to keep, which will determine how the tank will look.
Some key points I have decided on:
1. The fishes I am considering is rope fish, bichirs, and african butterfly fish.
2. I would like my choice in fish to reproduce eventually...
3. I want the tank to fit a biotype the best I can.
4. I would like to see activity in the tank instead of a barren appearence.
Now for my questions:
1. Are my choice of fish from the same biotype and do they get along?
2. What other fishes should I consider?
3. Any suggestions or feedback?
I am not new to keeping freshwater or saltwater tanks. I have kept bichirs in the past and loved them greatly. My concern is the sengal bichirs are said to not be social but the ropefish seem okay with it. I have never kept african butterfly fish. From my reading, it seems I need to go with sandy substrate with some live plants and lots of bogwood.
