What Can Be Kept With A South American Leaf Fish?

[slakey]

Right I have a 125 litre tank with 6 zebra danios in there to cycle.

Now I'm thinking of getting a South American Leaf Fish but surely with the ammount of space I have I could also have some more fish of similar size.

So any suggestions?
Or any sites?

I can get rid of the zebra danio's if needs be.
As for the food of the South American Leaf Fish I have a smaller tank where my guppies are breeding like crazy, and I read the South American Leaf Fish likes guppies as food... So it works out really, when my 9gal gets overstocked by guppies feed them to the South American Leaf Fish.

Thanks

Have you got the tank stabalised yet?

If not id leave the leaf fish until you have. Which fish is it exactly you have been looking at as there are a number of fish commonly names as "Leaf Fish"

If its the 'true' SA leaf fish http/www.fishforums.net/content/Oddballs...ican-Leaf-Fish/ like that one. Then the only tank mates I would put in are other leaf fish. I think they are shy and nervous fish, anything too boisterous would probably freak them out. Saying that though, I havn't kept them so can't personally comment.

Anyhow, I have the same question, what about the South American leaf fish? Maybe a Rafael cat?

Basicly anything that is too large to be eaten but not so large it will eat the leaf fish and wont out compete the leaf fish for the live food which the leaf fish require to survive will work.

Hey, just another quick question: would leaves help?

Might make it harder for you to find your fish, but yes.

Kid: Mom, look at my new fish!
Mom: What fish?
Kid: The Leaf Fish!
Mom: Just like the monster under your bed, and your imaginary twig catfish.

yeah, the cat should work. anything peaceful that it can't eat.
