could i add my ornate?

[superluke]

i have a 48x24x18 tank which currently has a clown knife and a lime shove lnose in both are around 5-6 inches. could i add my 8 inch ornate into this tank or would they not get along? also will the ornate be fine in a tank with no decor?

Is the width 18 or 24?
18 def not, 24 cramped but do able.
That is in ref to tanksize only not tankmates. CL will not work at all

It will all depend on the fish My tank is bigger but my bkg, ck, silver aro, Tin barbs, balas, pbass, oh yeah and pictus cat all get along and alot of them are not suppose to

Ornates tend to go after silver colored fish, also they love a good hiding place as well.
