Hey Catfishcrazy could you tell me what type of setup you have for your A.falcirostris'? Like tank size, tank mates, filter etc... Thanks!

No I didn't really have any fish in mind for feeders. I'm open to suggestions though! So you would consider the 40 gallon for breeding as opposed to the 10?

Good point. Right now my lima is doing well on red bloodworms. I'm thinking of mixing that up with earthworms, beefheart and some feeders. In the future though I can see a possible problem with having enough feeders. I think what I may want to do is make the 40 gallon I have now a breeder tank for ...

Sounds good. So my tank is going to look like this: 3 limas, 3 freshwater barracudas and 1 pl*co in a 100 gallon. Would you suggest floating plants to block some of the overhead light from my light fixture? If so what types would you suggest?

Also I was reading they they are very aggressive, would they endanger my s. lima? Other than that they look like ...

Thanks for your answer, it was very detailed and thorough. Now I have to go look and research these fish. I have time though my s. lima is only about 2-3 inches, it hasn't even eaten my small barbs yet.

Thanks for the replies. What types of fish have you seen with the lima, and what would you suggest?

Hey everyone, first post on this site. I have a 3" lima shovelnose and I was wondering what kinds of fish I can put in the same tank. Right now I have a 40 gallon but will be upgrading to a 100+ gallon soon. I like somewhat aggressive and exotic fish, like a gar, redtail, birchir... etc. Just ...
