I have the chance to get a 7 inch lima for free. I know nothing about them other then they are supposed to be pretty non aggressive and get around 18 inches.

Will it work with my current tank?

220g with large sump and xp4 canister filter

Stock list
13 inch tiger oscar
10 inch male uara
7 in female uaru
8 inch JD
5 inch EBJD
6 inch red spotted severum
2 X 6 in Geo. altifrons
6 inch clown loach

My tank is already pretty full, so I don't really need it. But I've always thought they were cool and the price is right. Will it eat any of my tankmates now or when it is full grown?

Thanks,
jgentry
 
I say - Get that Lima. It should make a fine addition to your nice collection of fish. Especially as you seem to be lacking a catfish in your setup.
 
you might wanna watch the lima when the clown loach invades his territory. and his tail and barbs might get bitten by the smaller fish, especially the EBJD.
