hallo

can i fit just one in my 72 litre long tank? In there i have a red tailed shark, 3 albino cory, and am going to get 5 tiger barbs

if so, what food/special treatment would they require?

thanks in advance
 
probably will need a good place to hide and i would suggest getting some bogwood for him to chew on too.
 
ah, so they eat the bogwood? I wandered why i needed some, luckily i already have some though

anything else? how big do they grow?
 
They don't grow that big, and they don't need bogwood although its always advisable to have it in a tank containg plecs. Bulldogs prefer cooler temps and high current, click here for info.

The shark could be an issue in a tank that size.
 
thanks, and yeah i plan to rehome it when its bigger, for atm its only a few inches

:nod: I agree it could be an issue and quicker than you think
 
They prefer cooler temps and don't withstand anything too warm for long. I've had 2 now and both died after a few weeks because of temp issues.
 
I bought one over the weekend myself and he/she is in my 29 gal., it stays about 78 to 80 degrees is this O.K. or is this still to warm for him.
 
Give it plenty of shady areas.

You guys got me worried. I been treating Ich with heat treatment for a few days now. Temp at 83F
