Bichirs, wierdest out there in the aquarium trade: polypterus senegalus. p. palmas palmas, p.palmas polli, p. palmas buettikofferi, p. delhezi and a few others not often seen will stay under 14"

polypterus senegalus i believe is the one that is the smaller of those 'i think' i have two and they are circa 10" and look great.

depend's what sort of thing you like?
for a community tank or a specie's tank?
if it's community have a look at thing's like pictus catfish,bristlenose plec's,reed fish,spiny eel's,dwarf channa's,upside down catfish,Chaca Chaca Catfish<frogmouth

[Big O]

is there a freshwater barreleye?

i got my tank 2nd hand so they didn't say the measurements

 

[indigoj]

You need to measure it really - that way we know what will fit in it.

OMG the Delhezi has leggy things

 

[youngfisher]

Big O, I dont mean to affend you or anything, but before you start over the fish you should get your dimensions and let them know.

I over one in the pet shop for ages, came home was about to get it..asked on here and found out it was to big

 

[Big O]

i'll measure it today but i tend to stick to smaller fish my hoplos the biggest i've got at the moment

 

[youngfisher]

If you have other fish in i recommend you post:

Dimensions of tank,
Other Fish,
Size of other fish,
Temperment of other fish,
Substraite (as some like to hide and dig)
Plants (as some might rip them to shreds)

post a pic of the 'sucky thing' - it is important to know your fish.

I'd go for a top dwelling fish to even things out and a small school of mid swimmers. This of course depends on size of tank.

Top fish could be a trio of panchax or an african butterfly fish

Mid swimmers could be praecox rainbows, tetras of some sort (not tiny ones like neons though) or barbs - maybe odessa barbs.

Need tank size - dimensions and literage to offer any real suggestions.
