Will my tank work? 40 gallons oddball?

Question

40 gallons:

curvier/senegal bichir- 10 inches

Elephant nose/baby whale fish-8 inches

If you think a fish does not work, please give a reccomendation! thank you!

Answer 2

No, that won't work. You've already clocked the size issue, all of those crammed into a 40 gallon could well create aggression and growth issues.

Do not go for any of those unless you can get at least the minimum tank size they need:

peacock eel - 70-75 gallons

senegal bichir - 55-60 gallons

wimple piranha - 70-75 gallons

elephant nose - 100-120 gallons

at a push you could maybe JUST keep the senegal alone, but it would depend on the footprint of your tank and it may still need an upgrade when mature.

you mentioned baby whale, did you mean Petrocephalus bovei bovei? in which case this could work in a 40 gallon (without the bichir which would eat it).
