Hi!! I am a new member of this forum and new to this hobby!! So i have some problems and questions!!!
1) I have a 45 gallon aquarium with 2 juvenile senegal bichirs (8-9cm each), the one is albino, a red tail shark and a small common pleco (4cm)...yesterday i saw the one bichir (which is the most aggresive) to have the pleco in his mouth trying to eat him...the pleco eventually escaped but the bichir was chasing him a lot...so i took the pleco and put him in my betta 15 litre aquarium...the betta was flaring and chasing him the first two three hours but now he just seems to ignore him...so my question is if the pleco will grow up enough in this 15 litre aquarium, so i can put him again with the bichirs...and if i have to feed him more and with what....
2)does my aquarium fit any more fish or these are enough? and if it cans you suggest any tankmates for the bichirs??
3) the bichirs aquarium which is planted, is full of small snails...i searched them on the internet and i saw that i have to do something because it is a species that eats plants...should i put some helena snails to eat the other snails (which are still babies the most of them) and if yes how many helena snails...
Thats my questions, thank you for reading!!
