Question fer me ol' mate CFC

[Flippin'thing bit me eye]

Hey CFC, its been a while, Im just planning a south american biotope in a 50 gallon. Ill be looking at one of the Panaque as prime tank fellow, are they all similar in behaviour and care? Was gonna put it in with 4-6 x-ray tetra, 6 blackwinged hatchets, a pair of rams. I'm not sure to risk a few collomesus puffers or sabre finned killies instead

All the panaque species are pretty much the same and will make a fine tankmate for the characins and killies, i wouldnt however recomend keeping one with puffers, IMO puffer are a species tank only fish which can inflict serious damage on other fish if the mood takes them.

I know what your'e saying CFC but I still get such conflicting views, a pal of mine had 4 collumesus in a 48" tank with a Lemon plec and some glo-lights without a problem, I might try it and if I get any problems I'll put them in their own 20G
