I just recently purchased a 150 gallon tank 48x24x30 to replace my 75 gallon bc I snapped the center brace. I know that the dimensions aren't the greatest but I had to hurry and find a tank. Current stocking list: 8' texas, 8' oscar, 4' dempsey, 4' oscar, two 5' pangasianodon, and 5' blue ahli . I rescued the iridescent sharks from a friend's 10 gallon tank. I am currently searching for a home for the iridescent sharks. I would like to know if I could keep everyone but the sharks. The blue ahli has been with the Texas and large oscar since they were all under 2 inches, so I'm not worried about him. There has been almost no aggression with these fish for the better part of 2 years. Hoping I can keep all of them but if not I have no problems with finding the smaller fish a new home.
Btw: I'm a long time reader first time poster. Love this site! I am very appreciative for all of the valuable knowledge it has been able to provide me without ever being a member.
 
There is a post thread button at the top and bottom of every forum.
 
Well for one I have cichlids from three different continents, which is almost always a big no no but it has worked out for me.
 
as long as the water parameters overlap i dont see a problem.... but SA and African cichlids? i just dont see it. what are your water params for the tank they are in?? are they stable?
 
I know that having a hap is totally against the rules but I have never had any issues with him. He was a present from my mother so I hated to get rid of him. The other fish were so small at the time I just figured I'd give it a try. She is always asking about him lol. 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 5 ppm nitrate
