hey everyone well its the fisrst time i post here

So i hav a 460 gall with 3 oscars in it and would like to kno what aggresive fish i could add in there cichlids,oddballs

also a 80 gallon that contains 3 clown loaches i wanna make a community calm tank:D
corys,clak skirts thnks:D
 
I have a 13" Ornate Bichir in with my 12" Oscar and im planning on getting a Siamese Tigerfish soon?! Just an idea for you!
 
if you already have 3 clown loaches, get more! their a schooling fish that love the company of their own! they will eventually need to be moved into your 400g, but will happily live in a 90g for a while i believe.

theres tons of other options to add to your oscars as well, like more oscars of different colors, black belt, jack dempsey, clown knife, acaras, texas, geophagus (if your oscars are mild mannered) severums, fancy plecos and hundreds of other rare/fancy cichlids. 400g is alot of room, and with proper aquascaping with lots of caves, hiding spots, plants for line of sight breaks, you can have most anything that sparks your interest.

all but the most agressive fish would work in a community. some fish that arent such a good idea unless kept single or as pairs are red devils, flowerhorns, dovii, jaguars, butticofferi, beani...some of these fish MAY be able to work in a community set up, but its risky IMO. still amazing fish to keep however :D

keep in mind im only listing the common fish off the top of my head. theres thousands of cichlid species out there :)
 
Get some endli for that big 400
 
wow sorry couldnt get to the pc i was goin with the idea of getting more oscars for the tank and hav an oscar tank will these be alright??

2 red oscar
2 tiger oscars
1 albino tiger oscar
1 albino red oscar
3 plecos

bichirs go fine with oscars?? cool so 4 of them also??
 
man i think you have enough oscars, if i would you i wold keep a biotope and add a silver arowana and a couple of stingrays like motoros. unless you have no worries mixing fish then you could get a clown knife. ooh yeh also get a niger cat they are awesome and very peacefull.
but amazonia setups rock :headbang2
 
wondering wht would u all rather a 460 tank
or a 1000+ gallon pond??
good thing is i live in seychelles so temperature is tropical all yr round so tel me wht u think??
