Hey guys!


So i have a 90g that im thinking of resetting. The only i will have in it is a 13" oscar iv had for 2 years. Im wondering what kind of fish could i add? I want to avoid cichlids, maybe a catfish cuz cats are cute? Any ideas?

In terms of the tank setup its a reg 90 g 48/18/22. I have an AC110+70 and ATI 5 sponge filter.

That's a big fish and not a big tank, whatever you add will need to be on the small side. Maybe some giant danios?

But i thought the recommended size for oscars for life is 75g? Or have i been mistaken for the past 2 years :s

The recommended size has increased regularly over the years from 55, 75, to 90 on average lol. I remember 55 used to be the recommended, that idea is now sacrilege :P

you can keep an oscar in a 90 just fine, but just the oscar, any small fish you put in are snacks. any thing larger a heavy bio load. tank over stock.

that being said think a rubber mouth plec be fine, adult size. or a an adult banded/clown plec.

Really? Gz i had an oscar, wolffish, and red spot severum in it before and people said i wasnt overstocked....hmm i might have to rethink this then. What would a cool non cichlid pred option be with no oscar then?

that's out of my realm of knowledge, make a great JD mated pair tank tho.
 
ya I know, ; )
 
could make it a schooler tank, should have no probs throwing in 5 gourami, 8 or so barbs , 12 or so tetras few cardinals , some Buenos aires, few beta, perhaps a ghost knife , rubber liped pleco. just described my wife's 75g, always something happening and all water collems (sp) covered.
