ok so ive been debating on which id rather get in my 90 gallon tank. either a black ghost knife or a bichir (senegalus). please let me know what youd pick
Yes, there is a chance that you could keep a bichir, a knife, and clown loaches in the same tank but I think that most here would agree that there will most likley be problems down the road or immediately and some very unhappy fish and that you will likely see subsequent disease or death of one or many of them.
I do believe that in the right circumstances it could work but not knowing anything about them and not keeping anything but loaches I would give my chances of success at about 1:500. If you have more experience with all of them and know what to expect then maybe the chances would be 1:100 of having no problems and 50:50 that the knife doesn't live long.
The bichir would be just fine with the clowns. Even 2 bichirs would be ok. What size tank is it? I'll have to go read back, can't remember if you said the tank size. Clowns get huge.
Ok, I went back. For a 90G, eventually you might have to get something bigger for the clowns. But 2 bichirs will be no problem with the clowns. A knife would get large too, and the 90G I feel would be just too small down the road.
i am. once its over and every things settle ill get the fish and take some pics once i find my digital camera
