Well I went to the lfs today and they had a blochi for 8.99 so I got him and will have to get a couple more I'll take some more soon

 

[bae1994]

Well I added a 3rd clown barb today and a triportheus angulatus Aka a dusky thin hatchetfish

Apparently there pretty uncommon in the hobby and there is very little info on the Internet so I've researched to the best I could and hope it will work if not I'll have to think again ( but it seems ok upto now) apparently there a pretty peaceful omnivore thats a surface dweller That max out at around 6 inches and it's about 4-5 now

I'll try to get pics tommorow but il put one off google to show what they look like for now

Well the Oscar got very aggressive so I had to return him to the shop and decided I didn't want another as I didn't want to risk my Oscar or the triportheus angulatus so I decided to try a Severum ( Ime aware that the parrot and sev could possibly cross breed but I'll decide what to do if that happens )

So my intended stock is ( the ones I need are in red )

1 parrot chiclid
1 gold Severum
1 triportheus angulatus
3 clown barbs
3 longfin barb need 2
3 pimelodella blochi need 2
1 Senegal birchir
1 delhezi birchir
1 Lima shovel nose . If theres room

I'll get pictures when the sev settles

You won't be disappointed with the Gold Sev mate, mine is absolutely stunning!

 

[bae1994]

A I had one when I had my 9ft tropical seemed great character but never saw it as it was always in plants at the back so I'm hoping I'll see this one more

 

[minnnt]

Mine is very characterful and is very confident as he seems to be 2nd in command atm. lol.

 

[bae1994]

Yeah lol I went for a small sev as I didnt want him to take control and then the parrot and it fights for control

Hes tiny tho so I hope he's alright seems fine upto now tho so fingers crossed

 

[minnnt]

I usually find that the smaller (younger) they are the more ballsy they are, so he (she) should be fine!

 

[bae1994]

Cool he's already been out sat next to the parrot ( the sevs about 1.5 inches and the parrots about 7 inches lol) at the minute he's sat in the corner but all seems good so far

Cheers bae
