Ideas Please

[KingO]

Hey I jut restarted my tank due to some ich problems. I have a very nice acrylic 60 gallon. I was thinking of throwing in an oscar, red tail cat, a jd, and a plecostamus. I talked to a friend and he told me to think some more. I want carnivorous fish that are nice, colorful and long living. Any ideas? Its driving me crazy. My substrates play sand.

I still say, jaguar cat, a smaller pike cichlid, rainbow wolffish and ....?

60 gal is way too small for those fish

You could do one oscar. Or a Jack dempsey pair. Pleco would have to be small variety at any rate.

Red tail catfish require pond!

my vote would be for one oscar

Dont do an oscar if you're not going to get a bigger tank. it

You can possibly put some kind of knifefish, it might fit in there, or possibly a stingray? bichirs, eels, and cichlids could work, bepending on the type

Hahaha I always love the stocking advice on the general section.

Not even big enough for one Oscar. There's literally hundreds of other species of cichlids that could work. If you want something aggressive and colorfu and hardy, either small to mid size central American cichlids or African cichlids.
