That was my thought too!

Distichodus sexfasciatus

Or Leporinus fasciatus

Both are large growing species and non too gentle either.

We are good, aren't we, MBOU

I've always wanted some of those; a tank of them, and clown loach would be awesome, if you had the space!

I've kept the Leporinus before in a display tank that was about 6ft x 2ft x 3ft and even in that they seemed huge! The Distichodus get bigger I think or maybe we had both in there

Lovely fish though, easy to keep if you have the space!!

But I agree Flutter, we ARE good!!
