Does This Sound Like A Good Assortment?
1x Silver Arowana
1x Albino Oscar
1x Clown Knife
3x Tinfoil Barbs
3x Bala Sharks
2x Leporinus
2x Blood Parrots

So, I am trying to add a bit more color...
WHAT COLORFUL FISH COULD I ADD?

I Also Want Some Catfish...
WHAT KINDS OF CATFISH?

 
Add a Lima Shovelnose
Maybe some clown loaches?
Could add some Heroes Severus
Maybe a EBJD?
 
Ok! Thanks! I LOVE shovelnoses but, dont they get REALLY Big?

Click to expand...

Not a Lima Shovelnose, a Tiger Shovelnose and Red Tail Catfish get huge, but a Lima (Without losing that hungry boy big body attitude) only grow to about 18 inches. Make sure you get a Lima though! I swear they look like a TSN when their only 2 inches
 
Ok! I Think I Will! Are They REALLY Hard To Find?
 
All my LFS carry Lima's. If you find that yours doesn't I bet they would order you one seeing as there not hard to get a hold of. If somehow they won't you can order http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=830+1163+932&pcatid=932

Which if your comfortable with ordering online.. isn't bad because the Lima's at my LFS are 59.99 so that pays for shipping if you would order online.
 
those balla sharks are gonna get ate eventually cause they grow really slow compared to an arowana.... i have an aro and sharks and the sharks havent really grown and the aro is blowin up..
 
Ok! Thanks! And I also need some suggestions for colorful fish but not like Jack Dempseys... Something a little less aggressive...
 
He doesn't say if they are big Ballas or not

I'm pretty sure a EBJD would be fine as far as aggressiveness goes but I've never had one so I wouldn't know from experience just the size of those fish and I know for a fact EBJD can be kept with an Oscar and Silver Dollars so I doubt it messing with a Lima, and tinfoil barbs.
 
But, other than that, what colorful fish?
