Stocking opinions please...

Its a risk especially with croc. These scaless cats arent built to take poly "nips" the juruense got the crap kicked out of it.

In all honesty i would 1st decide this.... say the cat has a great personality (active and a good eater) BUT croc takes a bite out of crime, the easy answer would be to rehome the cat....but would you be willing to rehome croc ?

Even tho my vulture is left alone the jur is not, im going through this right now. I may have to rehome my ornate

Rehome a poly over a cat? No way that's crazy If my Snakehead Gudgeon, Black Ghost Knife or one of my "Peaceful" american cichlids constantly attacked or hurt any of my poly's they would be the first to go . I deal with poly on poly crimes every now and again but as mentioned that is to be expected to establish/maintain a pecking order. Good call keeping Croc I would have made the same decision

Oh wow! Thanks for the tip bro. I’ll message him re: price. Who knows? LOL. It’ll probably be expensive haha... that vulture cat is also kind of calling to me.

My concern was also overstocking and managing nitrates... esp. once the fire eel gains some size - it's tiny right now!

That being said if choosing one more fish, I personally wouldn't get another poly because you already have so many. I'd go for something different.

Good point! Them fire eels do get big... I think one more fish will be enough either a vulture cat or a tiger knife depending on availability and my financial sitauation

He’s sure been posting a lot about cats lately.haha. The tiger knives are really cool, and I would get one.

Would also caution about overstocking if you all ready have a good size crew and are planning on adding a bunch more. Just like mags said, depends on your nitrates too. Then, Again, I’m a fan of understocking.
