  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hey mate u should know that silver pearch r bad asses my favourite fish is a silver perch he would bash any fish. one day i woke up to finde a oscar and a salmontail catfish with no fins he had killed them they were both about 20cm he was 15 now he lives with a pair of red devils he beats up the female but the male gives him a hiding lol but still a very tough fish
 
My mate keeps 2 oscars and a gold severum with his 45cm barramundi. Goes great, O's leave him alone, and he doesn't care for the rest of the fish.
 
I've had a sinlge silver perch in with cichlids and a large archer and had no probs but the archer fish pretty much keeps everthing else in line - silver perch, green terror, jack dempsy, convicts the lot !
 
some natives are very aggresive fish, alot of our grunters are by far more aggressive then most sa cichlids i find. i have a school of 10 silver perch they seem to always pick on the weakest. kept barra but grew so rapidly it started eating my other fish!
