Hey all,
I'm in the process of selling/giving away my current stock in my 55g. I saw a Selegal Bichir in a local shop and think they are suck a cool looking fish. Been doing some research on them and I'm sure I'll like one in my tank but the main question is regarding tank mates.
So far the only fish I MIGHT keep of my stock is an Electric Blue Ram. I would like a small school of fish but they have to be big enough to avoid becoming food. So far I'm thinking Congo Tetras and they apparently come from similar waters in Africa. I've also been considering Tiger Barbs. Thing with both of these species is they like to nip fins and that affects whether or not I can add a Betta or Angel.
Also I have Cory Cats maintaining the bottom right now but obviously they have to go or become food. What is a good janitor to put with a Bichir?
I guess I'm seeking any advice on a workable community with a Senegal Bichir in it as well as a Betta. Had a Betta once once and really miss having one, they add so much character to the tank.
