Feeding my 55 gal. Congo/species (Leopard Bushfish)

Feeding my 55 gal Aquarium. My favorite fish are the ctenompoma, and the Pink- tail Characin. Those are my babies. also the beginning of the video will be slow to start off because i just turned the lights on, and the fish are just waking up, the reason the title is /species is because the tank is mainly a Congo tank minus about three fish. :)

Great tank! That redtail was eating that Congo tho

[@greetjenijdam]

You have beautifull fish.

[@phantomaquarist3417]

Thank you so much. :)

[@hoodkage416]

what a tank

[@danielfuentes2999]

Hey what species of plants do you have in here?

[@krissarni6074]

I know you have the whole African theme and I see that a lot a lot a lot I get suggestions because I have two of the leopard bush fish but they do not get along like yours you are very lucky one is in a 60 gallon one is in a 40 gallon if anybody here or you! could help a little bit seems like your two are getting along without the whole African theme Congo tetras bottom feeders etc. then normal ones again mentioned EBA's etc... Ghost knife fish's bichirs etc What are good tank mates for THIS amazing fish? We have two of them and I really don’t want to get rid of them but it’s come to the facts and point that if we can’t find the right fish then we’re literally having a 60 gallon and a 40 gallon tank with one fish and some bottom feeders it’s truly a waste lotta good potential if that makes sense for any help and suggestions are much appreciated!

It's okay for fish to nip at other fish. Alot of the time it's just to communicate dominance. Hierarchies in tanks always will need to be established. Just make sure that you don't put anything too small that can fit in the Leopard Bushfish's mouth. Also remember that the mouth expands bigger than what you see. As for them being paired in the tank. Both mine were removed later from this setup. Both because eventually they couldn't get along anymore while getting bigger, and the setup was coming down because I was moving to a smaller place.

@@phantomaquarist3417 Okkk... Yeaaa he's ate my Harlequin Rasbora's Molly and guppies..... That mouth is way bigger than you think!! I see your setup now... Any suggestions for tank mates that you found worked out well and also new ones since you moved the other one? Thanks for your help with this!!

[@bigcathunters5901]

What is that sliver fish on the top that ate the food first?

[@phantomaquarist3417]

That would be a pink tail chalceus. They are really active.

[@troysullivan13]

[@ganjaganja3811]

[@Thomas.T8]

[@phantomaquarist3417]

Just Brown Knifes. They only get 9 inches

[@ashkun1633]

I got the same may I know with what do. U feed them?

[@phantomaquarist3417]

I fed krill and brine shrimp from Omega One. Sometimes pieces of shrimp broken up when big enough

[@Thesking354]

How old your ctenopoma?

[@phantomaquarist3417]

This video unfortunately was from a long time ago so I no longer have them. I went through a major move and lost a lot of the animals due to not having enough room in the new house for all of the aquariums. But at the time of this video they were about 2 years old

[@Hikmatullahhamasah]

is pink tail characin a predator? can i mix with palmas albino?

[@phantomaquarist3417]

You can find a lot of information for them on the internet, but for my experience they're skittish predators. Mine actually died from stress

[@wolfmania10]

Wow what a beautiful variety of fish from the leopard ctenopomma to Congo tetra to the knifefish the farlowella the synodontis the chalceus and the Senegal bichir just so much variety and unique fish in one tank I love the African theme and I definitely think you did it very well. If you want to see the leopard ctenopommas at full grown check out my “updated 55g tank” playlist and you’ll see a 6 inch ctenopomma along with some Congo tetras a synodontis and a Senegal bichir too! I definitely love the oddball fish like it seems you do and the variety of fish in Africa is perfect for people like us! A+ on the tank and the aquascape and definitely check out my page to see a full grown ctenopomma!

[@madsrichardson62]

[@ganjaganja3811]

[@YashasYo]

[@ganjaganja3811]

[@thejacksons8988]

[@aceaquatics2596]

Ghost knife

[@larsanthonsen6264]

That red tail barracuda is gonna get big

[@bigcathunters5901]

Barracuda are saltwater

[@garythefishable]

@@bigcathunters5901 There is a freshwater fish commonly referred to as 'red tail baracuda' even though it isn't a true barracuda. That been said I think the fish their comment refers to is actually a pink tail chalceus anyway.
