	Ctenopoma acutirostre - experiences please
Big E Fish Addict Posts: 606 Kudos: 382 Votes: 0 Registered: 20-Feb-2001	I just picked up a Ctenopoma acutirostre at the LFS to add to my mainly SE Asian biotope 33 gallon tank (1 paradise fish, 1 Rainbow shark, 6 kuhlis, 2 geriatric otos, 1 clown pleco, and 3 amano shrimp). I've been wanting one of these fish for ages (and have been researching them), and jumped when I saw a tank with about 8 healthy ones. Anyone have experience with this fish they want to share? Eric
