well in your area i would imagine gettin african cichlids would be fairly easy....i'd go w/ african cichlids........do you know the PH of your water??? it may help in determining what you can keep w/o adjusting your water to much. yeah those. most of those fish you have come from completely diff parts of the world.............what ones do you want to keep.........oscars or african cichlids???? nice lookin tank.........dirka dirka

so can someone tell me what kind of fish i can keep . my bad luck is that i m from pakistan and in pakistan fishkeeping is not famous hobby that why i dont have much choice to slect fish . and here fish price is also very high.

Stick with your african cichlids.

- 3 oscars, 35cm each
- 2 pangasius sutchi, 90cm each
- 1 red belly pacu, 60cm

^ those three are the ones you will need to get out of your tank.

the oscars are fine. The tank is 2.5' wide 35 cm is a foot and a bit. Do not tell him what to get rid of and to keep, just give him a friendly nudge in the right direction.

Your oscars are fine, if you do not feel that you want to get rid of them, don't. just choose their tank mates accordingly. I do advise removing the sharks and pacu. other then that man, I really like it.


there are many cichlids you can add with oscars, just watch your water.

my tank is 6x1.5x2.5 feet

The tank is 2.5' wide 35 cm is a foot and a bit

1.5' = 45cm, 5cm either side is not what I would call fine.

who makes a tank 2.5' high but 1.5 wide?...

 

[Eric A]

Look at the second last picture. This tank sure as hell ain't 1.5' tall unless the tank is only like 3' long?

People make tanks skinnier than they are tall to save space yet still giving the 'sence' of a large tank.

That's actually a really nice tank!

And the only advice, apart from planning for a bigger tank (Pacu's can get to be 3 feet long) is to separate the African cichlids from the other fish. African cichlids need harder water and can be a lot more aggressive than Oscars.

Nice tank. If you decided to keep them all, just have your brother build you a bigger and wider tank. Problems solved! =)

Doesn't anyone notice the ID sharks. He can get a bigger tank but not keep them all, the IDs will eat the african cichlids. They have very wide and deep mouths and can take on fish 1/3 their size. If you put it that way, a full grown ID shark would be a threat to a fully grown oscar (35cm vs. 120cm)
