I have some clown knives, climbing perch, small plecos, silver dollar and angelfish. What else could i put in there?
 
tank size?
 
you don't have to, i just think the fish u ahve in there can all stand up to the more aggresive species of cichlid, whereas angels can't, so if you had no angels u could keep a variety of larger more aggresive cichlids in there.
how big is the tank? cause the clown knifes turn into real monsters
 
right now 60g but they are gonna be move to a bigger tank probably a indoor pond
right now the clown knife sizes are 4"-7"
 
aslong as you are going to upgrade the clowns to something bigger thats fine,
when thinking of a pond your options are alot more, fish that are too small will just be consumed by the knifes, so your looking for large robust fish, you could also have some bichirs or a catfish of some kind for some bottom movement, if this is going to be a big pond you may even thinking of a group of tinfoil barbs or silver sharks as a large dither
i will let some of the members who are more experienced with ponds and such to give u sugestions =)
 
ok thank you
what size bichirs would be ok?
I forgot to mention i also i have a raphel catfish that is 4"-5"
 
well in a 60g
you shouldnt realy have this combo in the first place
the ck get wayyy to big for a 60g
and the angels are too delicate to be housed with the perch
i would either just keep the angels
or the perch by themselves
but if you got rid of all the fish you could get a single jack dempsey, flower horn, red devil or green terror
for a while if not most of there lives for some of the fish i named
