Shistura/Sewellia tankmate?

[malfunkshun]

I'm about to start a rivertank and found Opsarius pulchellus for sale in a shop close to me. Would these do well with Schistura balteata and Sewellia sp.?

Hi malfunkshun,
What size is the tank? O. pulchellus get to a reasonable size and this is definitely a species that requires a lot of swimming space. They are also very greedy, and if you were fortunate enough to have your Sewellia breed, they would predate on the eggs and fry.
Hope this helps,
Emma
