I'm looking for a new fishy to go into my tank, and just after some ideas. Tank is 7'x20"x21" with a 13 inch oscar and 2 severums about 8 and 7 inches. Something equally peaceful but not edible!
Looking for a new tank mate

Uaru or a chocolate cichlid would be my choice. The true parrots are really aggressive fish

I've heard plenty of stories of hoplarchus being aggressive. Chocolates and uaru are pretty relaxed but won't get bullied.
They're the stealthiest fish i've ever owned...i got him him when he was about 2.5". Seen him a few weeks then he disappeared. I thought my Trimac got him. Coudnt find him anywhere. Then one day i noticed movement behind a fake log when the lights aquarium lights were off and all other fish were accounted for. I lifted up the log and there he was. He had doubled in size. Must have been "dead" for 3 months or so...he started coming out alot more once my Trimac died for no apparent reason. But even now i can go a week, easily, without seeing him.
They're cool looking fish tho. Have that "Real catfish" look...without getting too big.
I picked up a 7 inch albino pleco today although I'm still considering adding something else which isn't so hard on the bioload. Uaru are hard to come by over here otherwise I'd jump all over that idea! What are people's thoughts on a small group of tapajos? If I can find some with some size.
