Bottom-mid Dweller Ideas

[nshockeyplaya]

Need some help brainstorming some possible bottom-mid dwellers for my fish tank that would get along with an oscar and a few balas. Give me some ideas, preferably a larger growing fish.

loaches perhaps? clown loaches are brilliant fish and grow large eventually

Good suggestion, but forgot to add that already got 2 in there. Didnt include in description because they get along with almost anything sorry. Any other suggestions please

 

[jayjay]

you should get alot more clown's. about 5.

 

[nshockeyplaya]

Yes, i've considered that but i wanted something a little different. More suggestions please I want to get as many ideas as possible

 

[fishfishfish]

pictus maybe.or larger synos

 

[nshockeyplaya]

Yes ive also considered those, more please lol

 

[nshockeyplaya]

Cmon guys, need a few more suggestions

 

[jayjay]

how much money you got to play with lol?

you could get some sort of plec?

but i still think clown loaches as they do prefer large groups.

Bristlenose cats do a good job of controlling algae.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but i really dont want an algae eater. JayJay i actually think ill get 2 more clowns so ill have 4. However i also wanted one like sort of stand out fish that can reign the bottom of the tank. Appreciate all the suggestions so far, keep em rolling

 

[jayjay]

sorry but what sort of fish are we looking for? plec? loach? etc.

something like a pictus? humbug catfish? royal plec? eel banjo ( aspredo cotylephorus)? chaca chaca? birchir? synodontis notatus?

 

[nshockeyplaya]

Im sorry i kno im being sort of difficult. For instance one of my considerations was a black shark, and i was considering a pictus. I dont know much about birchirs how are they? Fish more along these types of lines i guess. Sorry if im being too picky or difficult haha

 

[jayjay]

so were looking for a shark pictus birchir fish? no probs lol.

i dunno but i would go with the birchir just cause they look good and i think they would do well in your tank.

Okay ill keep that in mind, again thanks for the help
