Depends on tank size and water quality.......


.....and dont ever be late for a feeding or they will all be gone

Ill add bogwood andplants for some cover for them as they are all hard backed fish.

Lol, ino they are aggrestive sometimes but i will have good filters and the tank size will start off as 4 foot (standerd size), then when they grow to 8 inches i will get a 5 foot or 6 foot one with a 2 foot width and hight.

Plecos maybe for a while, maybe for life
Most times anything you put in there can and most likely will become food

Well as horrible as this sounds i could do with some corys in there to keep the sand clean, so if any get eatten there only cheap i will try and make a bogwood bottom so they can have a cupple of inches under the wood to avoid beeing eatten, also im thinking of adding a royal plec, lepord plec and a scarlet plec, also im thinking of about 3 striped doras catfish.

I've been trying to find some more creatures, fish or otherwise, to have live in my tank

If you have the money and the fish/creature has been quarantined first it should be fine.
I'm trying small fish right now and some snails, once quarantine is complete I'll try out a crayfish(I'd love to have a blue one in there)

Goodluck keep us updated on what happens...

Yes I will ive only keep big fish once and that was a perruno longisbarbs catfish (20 inch)and one large common plec (16 inches) and 2 oscars (12 inches and 14 inches).

The oscars were like dogs and he perruno catfish was an amazing fish then I had my water mess up and lot one oscar and the perruno and just gave away a 5foot tank with the oscar and plec.

Ive keeped tropical and breed some guppys and mollys for a while aswell as sword tailes, now I want to get some large fish again so im going to try these.

I will keep you updated on the tank set up what will be starting next week as im going to buy one, also im talking to a importer about the gold belly piraya and some super reds im looking to get 3 of each and then some common pet store rbp x 3, so ill have 9 of them.

Then ill add 10 corys, 3 striped doras and get a royal plec I might just leave the one plec in there to see how it gose cause I dont want to waste £100 on the scarlet pleco.

Then I think ill add plants before the fish,

Dave.
