West African tank

[TUBBS]

ok, now i've upgraded my tank to a 200L Fluval roma, i feel i need more fish (was a Rekord 120 before)

so atm i have:
1 x African knifefish
1 x reedfish
1 x delhezi bichir
1 x senegal bichir
2 x butterfly fish
1 x pair of kribensis
1 x bulldog plec (i know, not african, but no african plecs)

plus these odds and sods that will be dead soon enough due to age and deteriorateing health:
1 x cherry barb
1 x darter tetra
1 x vieja apistogramma

anyone got any ideas for new fish?

i want a bottom catfish such as a syno species, i can only get small upsidedown cats (will get munched i reckon at their size) and featherfins atm but should be able to order more types in

a tetra
can get congo's, yellow tailed congo's (GF likes these best), Red-eye tetra (my favourite)

i would also like some african glass cats but can only get asian ones atm and they stay small

any ideas?

considered a centopoma again as my african leaf fish have all died off now

Sounds good to me... I like theme tanks. I trust u have plenty of Anubias planted in there...

How about Synadontis multipunctatus? (I think thats how you spell it)

thought about multies, but they are from lake tanganyika, eat africa, they are my favourite syno though, even though it clashes, looked after a 16 strong breeding shoal in a 4ft malawi tank at the shop i used to be at, they were awesome

leopard centopoma are so common though, was thinking more ctenopoma ansorgii, but they stay to darn small

nah i'm keeping anubias to a minimum, got loads of vallis, 2 tiger lotus and loads of bog wood which i may add anubias to when i get some, also got what i believe to be a crinium bulb, crikled african one, but will see soon

I was after some ansorgii, but I just couldnt source any, so I got leopards.
Ansorgii are sooo nice, just wish they got the same size as the leopards.
