My bichers live with panda & pygmy cory lolol. No problems so far....


That's funny because every morning I find more fin missing from my Albino Corys that live with my Birchir. (I assume he is biting them when he's hunting at night).
 
you might look at the Arrowana they have personality to beet the band, they are amazing to watch eat and they will get on fine with Oscars oh and they get big, they let you pet them, they always make people ask questions and when I had mine Harry would jump out of the tank for a piece of beef hart one of his fav. foods. or a huge night crawler

pretty soon your friends will be bringing him food to watch him eat

oh can you tell I really love these fish

Hello everyone,

I'll make an aquarium with the following measures:

(70.9 to 74.8) inch x 23.6inch x (21.7 to 23.6) inch

I think it's a good size to start, but am having some difficulty choosing the right fish ... I wanna do a beautiful thing (I will use a black or white sand and many rocks and wood) and it does not get overcrowded fish ...

For filtration I am thinking about using a canister filter, Fluval FX5

I dont realy know what kind of light and how many watts i need, can u help me?

I think I just miss talking fish that I have not yet picked almost none, because I am not very knowledgeable about this type of fish and was also why I joined this forum ...

The fish that until now decided that I will ask are:

2x Astronotus ocellatus

Still did not choose anything else, because only I heard about the RTC, TSN and arowana, fish that are maybe too big for my future tank and there must be many more besides these that many people do not know ...

Oscar should need much space to swim, so it might be best to choose fish from the depths ...


Greetings, Tankado

PS: Sory about my English.


Im gonna throw out a whole new idea. If you want a beautiful tank than I would look into getting one or two red dragon flowerhorn and some sort of pleco that stands out against the black background like a zebra pleco (a cheaper option would be a common albino pleco). Maybe even throw in a few discus.
Again, just a new idea, if youve made up your mind already thats OK.:D
 
You do have tons of options. How about a jardini with a few bottom dwellers such as a hystrix, or a del or ornate. You could have a decent frontosa colony. A large african setup with tons of different african species. There are tons of ca/sa americans as well. The list goes on and on. A planted discus tank would be a real eye catcher. A florida gar or two would look nice as well......
