I kept mine with a morgunda gudgeon. Colorful, lively and not too big but big enough to not be at all threatened by the bichirs

Good to know. I haven't done anything yet. Just feeding small trout worms and watching. Seems inquisitive but not too violently aggressive. Wouldn't take freeze dried krill. When I settle on a med I plan on dosing the krill with it. Assuming I get him to take it

I have 2 tanks. The new puff is currently in a 55gallon qt. I plan on deworming with metronidazole and praziquantel there before moving on to one of these 2 tanks.
Tank 1:

ph5.9 slightly tanic
Dirted with pool filter sand cap leaf-litter and many round riverbed stones...

Cichlids are bottom feeders and territorial disputes will arise. Rays have a thick slime coat too that might be irresistible to certain fish that like to nip/pick

Ok obviously everyone is gonna ***** about the tank size but that aside - I think you can actually get away with a swarm of top feeding tetras. I'm going to attempt this once my tetras come out of qt. The idea behind this is that the bottom grazing rays won't take too many tetras and some...
