I have an African Knife in my goldfish tank LMAO looks like you have quite the happening tank there! love the rocks but I bet you don't see those bullhead too often haha

lol, nice.

Actually, surprisingly, I do see the Bullhead fairly often. They come out during the day following each-other, looking for food. Very cool to watch, reminds me of sharks searching the reefs.

Thanks man.

New pics, with some new additions.
Now, I've taken a lot of risks housing certain fish together, and so far, I think I like this one.

It also seems to be working as well!
Oscars with small Cichlids! Sounds crazy, but it has been over a week since they have been added, and no problems at all. I added three Blue Dolphins just yesterday, and they also seem to be doing well. Lost one of them in the other tank, not sure why. Found him dead with the new BGK eating what was left.
Anyway, the tank is amazing to watch, lots of color, lots of movement. The Oscars are rescues, and are also stunted. They were kept in a 20-Gallon before I took them, so they are about 8", and I don't think they are going to grow any larger. The original owner had them for a few years, and an Oscar can reach 12" in about a year, maybe a little more. So I guess I got a pair of dwarfs, lol. (Bruce the other Oscar rescue def. makes them look small, lol) :popcorn:
