African Oddball Tank

**Fish Master** · 10-06-2012, 5:23 PM

I'm planning on doing an African oddball tank with a 40 gallon long.
Here's what I'm planning to get:
1 African Knifefish
1 Spotted African Leaf fish
1 African Butterfly fish

What other African oddalls should I add?

Deffinitely not, you wont find them at a chain store your only chance is a mom.and pop store or online. I know a lfs by me had one for $20 almost fully grown it was really awesome (deff an oddball!)

Hardly appropriate for an African oddball tank, seeing as how they're from South America.

Hmmm...I like what you have so far. Not really an oddball, but some upside cats would fit in nicely with those fish.

I used to have an African butterfly fish named Mr. Flippers. Really great fish. I bred crickets for him. They've got huge mouths and really appreciate flies, moths, crickets, etc. Anything they can fit in their mouths, really. But he left the other fish alone and hung out at the top so that was nice of him.

Petsmart does sell the African Leaf fish, Ctenopoma acutirostre....I know since I got one from there (great fish!) and see them there all the time. I have never seen SA leaf fish at Petsmart though.
