Pull the angle out of the mix and move them all into a 100g then you could. The angle should not be with that bichir.

You could add the butterfly, the bichir may eat it though.

You're worried about the bichir? haha... Don't get a wolf fish, it will kill everyone. Get rid of the pictus cat and don't get a butterfly, it will get eaten by the bichir because of it's small size.

Max size in captivity

Brown knife fish- 12"

Senegal bichir- 14"

Pictus cat- 4"

Angel fish- 12" tall

You already need a bigger tank...

Red wolf fish- 10" and vicious will kill anything that will fit in its mouth

Butterfly- 6"

I second Shua. Wolf fish is a killa

I've kept many wolf fish (Erythrinus erythrinus) over the years. They're basically torpedos with teeth. I would love to keep them again. They're just nasty predators. When my 10yr old was about 2 he was bitten by one of my wolf fish, one that was about 3 inches long. He stuck his little fingers right in the water and BAM! He only did that once. Be sure to keep a top on the tank as they'll jump right out. I wouldn't keep them with anything that's living.

Man love to keep those things again. They are cool and mean as hell.
