I have some cichlids, a couple walking catfish and iridescent sharks in the tank. Any suggestions to liven up the tank? Crustaceans..?

What size tank? Iridescent catfish get HUGE. What kind of cichlids?

How about silver dollars?

 

[Al KW Tan]

Yes, silver dollars are good

Silver dollars are a great fish. Very active, they can get quite big depending on the type tho so make sure you have room for them to swim. I have 3 striped and 2 spotted in my own 6 foot tank and they school together beautifully and are always active following each other all over the tank. They are very entertaining to watch.

Forgive the blurry photo... they are fast little buggers lol
