I had Jax for 9 years now and he has definitely eaten over $300.00 in community fish within the first year. Now he has a 75gal tank for him self and 2 catfish. This is a predator fish with a lot larger mouth than you can see. Jax is 7 1/2 inches

[@igotboredfkit]

Yeah that's valid but to be fair his community tank is barbs and silver dollars. That's probably why he's had such a different experience than a lot of people.

[@ghostsniperdk9989]

Can it go with plecos

[@raypatterson6738]

I have one that's in with Angels, several dif danios, barb sharks, red fin sharks, pink, albino. Corey cats, blue gourami, Japanese algae eaters, Chinese algae eater, Australian rainbows, Madagascar rainbows, plecostomus and prob missed one in a 55. They all have all have been getting along great! I know it's possible I'll have to make changes as they get bigger but as of now all he does is chil around the take. So far he's been a great community tank fish and easy to take of.

[@waynestott1976]

I have 2 of them in a community tank with angelfish and gouramis it's a 70 gallon cube no problems with aggression

[@oztekofficial8150]

just got one of these had one as a child and he was always such a great fish great personality

[@hugohammond1301]

Just rescued a pair, they're doing fine with my rainbows, rainbow shark, leopard cat and bumblebee cat, the rainbows are all juvenile so I did expect casualties but they seem to be doing fine.

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

I bought three acutirostre the other day, in a pet store where I didn't expect to find such a species. I had one some years back, and I remember liking it. They settled in nicely, and started swimming around, and eating pellets the second day. They share the tank with peruvian angels, bolivian rams, colombian tetras, pakistani loaches, Megalechis thoracata, Mastacembelus circumcinctus, and Ancistrus. They are not shy at all, and not aggressive either.

[@iRedRuMuRdeRu]

I just got 3 of these an was wondering if my Cory's will be ok when these get adult size

[@maybeconrad5745]

how are they doing?

[@iRedRuMuRdeRu]

@@maybeconrad5745 so far so good with the Cory's but did need to get more decors so they each had a personal spot to call there own. When they were resting them seem to like to push the others away if coming to their resting spot

[@jerilyncibulka6162]

I had 2 loved them, good fish. George and Laura bush fish!

[@tracywarden7034]

I had my guy for a couple years, originally with some Angel fish. My partner bought him and I really didn't do much research at the time. I had to upgrade the tank to 55 gallons (from 40) and did some digging only to find that they should have others, so I have ordered 4 more to join the tank. Kinda bummed I didn't look more into it before because they are very interesting fish once you look into them. I am looking forward to the newbies and how he will act with some friends. He is the last of the crew with just a couple pleco in with him.

[@unknownsource6958]

I couldn’t put mine in a community tank with smaller or bigger fish he attacked them all

[@DemetraLitALLday]

I just got 2 small ones.. I'm going to place them in my community tank

[@SportsGamerDaddy]

I want one of these fellas for my 200l.. I have Congo Tetras and African Featherfin Catfish in there now.. I think they’ll make good tank mates 👍🏽

[@BoogaFortnite]

would these be fine in a semi aggressive American cichlid tank?

[@808beastsplayground]

Depends how big the cichlids are and how small you get the bush fish but if around same size I don’t see a problem as long as you give them some cover preferably plant real or fake hence the name bush or leaf fish have a blessed day aloha 🤙🙏💯

[@vasili1207]

Had mine in with two 12" oscars and they swam together ... it was about 6" itself so all good.

[@thejoyghost17]

I have one right now had him for about 4 years now it shares a tank with a senegal bichir made the mistake of buying small fish just so the tank has more movement, 3 days later they where all gone not doing that again

[@808beastsplayground]

Aloha braddah I currently have two in a 55 with angel pair and convict pair they are awesome I do say I only have two and I definitely would recommend one or three or more the only fish I see them eat are guppies that I give them for a treat

[@wonderfulworldofwater370]

The mouth of this fish is only small until they open it up. Don’t be fooled. This fish if it honestly wanted to could eat a fish of equal size. It is just not likely that it would, but never say never.

[@IAmAKay]

One of my favorite fish! I've had them for years. They have the best personalities, even though they are shy. I had five in a 75 gallon. I moved and had to re-home them. 😔

[@toppo-ducati]

can you keep more than 1 as ive got 1 but want another ?

[@IAmAKay]

@@toppo-ducati I had five, but they like to have their own hiding spaces. So the 75 gallon was good for the 5. They do get quite large. They were fine with any other fish I put in with them as long as they were bigger than their mouths (which are quite large).

[@vasili1207]

Great fish but shy.... until the lights go out then it turns into a killer... it's mouth opens really big and extends like a xenomorph... but it's an amazing fish. .... just keep them like any other fish ... if it will fit in his mouth they will eat them...

[@1stuwarden]

i have to strongly disagree with on this i have four of these and 1 of mine can fit 3 large live shrimp in its mouth in 1 hit no way the have small mouths my large 1 even tried to swallow my bichir be very carful what u choose to put these in with

[@igotboredfkit]

I'm hoping to get six or seven of them to grow out and put in my Senegal Bichir tank. But before that my girlfriend has dictated that I must get her a African butterfly fish and since I love African butterfly fish I'm getting a colony of them.
