Tomorrow I am getting a 150G...I need some ideas for other fish.
-I am curently putting in:
Oscar (5in) Eats everything...
Silver Arowana (6in)
Midas (6in)
Shovelnose and Redtail Cat Hybrid (6in) Eats everything...

I also have a Flowerhorn but it is too small to put in yet...

Can you please give me some ideas to make my tank interesting.

I ALSO HAVE A 60 GAL WITH:
3-Blood Parrots
5-misc Africans Cichlids
1-Pleco
1-Jack Dempsey
1-Green Terror
1-Blue Acura

Need advise please!!!

Both of your tanks are already over stocked and look like you will have some compatibility issues.

Not to be a "bubble burster" but I agree. You might end up having to facilitate the overflow.

Congrats on your new tank!
 
and with your two cats maintenance is going to be off the charts
 
Thanks everyone. I did think it was over stock but that was also another reason i was getting the 150G b.c I realize how big the arowana and the hybrid with get. The 60G is mainly going to be for the Africans. and the 29G is basically a grow out tank for my FH.

I would still like to hear opinions on diff. fish so that I can research more. I am new to the hobby and would like to learn as much as possible about dif. species.

Thank

It's great to see somebody that is eager to learn about how to properly care for their fish! 3 of the fish that you have listed are not suitable for home aquaria-the arowana and the 2 cats. An arowana you could probably keep in a 300 gallon mimimum if you had excellent filtration and did a lot of waterchanges. I would recommend that you look through the DIY section and get some ideas for building an indoor pond as you will need it once these fish get larger. Good luck!
