I can see him in his new hidey hole - god he's huge. hahahahahaha I wish I saw him more.
In order to see him, I have to feed the tank and then sit VERY STILL and just watch --- from AFAR, mind you --- and I get glimpses. But just that. Glimpses. I have an idea that if I can out here at mid-nite with a flashlight I'd get a full on Mr. Magic Show.

Mr. Magic completely -- and I do mean COMPLETELY - fills the little rock hole where he hides all day. Picture a colored in 0 with whiskers and you got the visual. He's a beast. (No offense intended @FishBeast - you know I love ya! )

I would fear the red texas chewing on him and with catfish not having any scales could be an issue.

You can definitely try it, I've seen people mix scaleless fish and cichlids before, so its not impossible. However I would still take a caution and watch their behavior together in the tank. I simply say it out of my cautious ways of keeping, I like to minimize all general risks, big or small, as much as I can.

@Renegade Aquatics - are you serious? @Loren is coming over here to pick up SAEs and he can help me captur
Now you're an "empty nester", Tank. By the way, I'm naming my fish Tank. After you, of course. He's getting some new plants in a minute.....!
They are almost all gone nowlol it was fun having multiple fish one 1 tank.

My major fear at this point, would be Mr. Magic trying to eat Tank. He/She is still small - so I am going to wait until he/she gets a big bigger before I move Mr. Magic. I could also move Mr. Magic into the 29G with the Angels, Giant Danios, 1 huge Bristlenose and the African Leaf fish. He can't get any of those guys into that gaping maw of his.

Ahh my apologies, I did not quite understand that it was still small.
Yeah the 29 will work, most of those are wide bodied fish.

@VickiK I need to see pics of your new fish or I'm not going to believe you have it
OK Totally off topic, however, you ask and I deliver! Behold, a hideously bad pic of "Tank" inside his "camp". I've planted it so it will become a lovely jungle cave with time. He already likes it in there.
By the way, he is LOVING the Fluval Bug Bites small fish formula. @Tank
