I acquired an established 75 gallon with an eclectic mix of, one each of the following:
Asian Upside Down Catfish
Pictus Four Line Cat
Raphael Cat
Synodontis Cat
Peacock Cichlid
Red Zebra Cichlid
Cobalt Zebra Cichlid
These are all mature, good sized fish (range 3-7”). They have been living together for a couple of years with me and some amount of time before I acquired them. I picked up 6 clown loaches and have been keeping them in quarantine. They are 2.5” size range. Opinions on how they make out with the mix in the established 75, assuming ample places to hide out and access to food?
The current inhabitants, specifically the Peacock and Pictis/Upside cats, can be on the aggressive side from time to time (they’re also on the larger end of the size range). Generally the tank has a good balance considering the mix, but it’s not exactly a calm community tank.
I’ll be upgrading the tank size for these fish, but not for a couple of years so I’m pretty locked into the current setup for now.
