Hi.

I have a 5 foot 120show I am tempted to add an ODOE to. I'm actually not worried about the tanks inhabitants as much as I am the odoe. At first what I have can be fairly aggressive to outsiders.Let me know if you see any problems.

It's 60x18x26 2 AC110, a cascade canister and lots of air.

1 8-9 blood parrot
1 8-9 veija synspilus
1 6 green terror
1 3 fire mouth
1 3 inch Honduran red point
1 7-8 delhezi
1 5 ornate
1 6 endli.

Parameters are all in check, but this crew while fine with themselves do not always take to tank mates. I had a rtgg in the tank but she has been removed. She killed a red tail payara. As of present the only real aggression is the blood parrot to the veija. The blood parrot never seems to give fish like dollars, arowana etc any thought.
 
Tough question with an on the fringe answer. If your gonna upgrade to 235 or larger soon yes it is possible, if not probably just a waste of money. Even then you'd be lookin' at getting an 8-10" Pike to handle the aggression from the larger cichlids and it will get very pricey. Anything smaller you run the risk of an expensive meal for your other fish.
 
My fish are weird, they never show aggression to dithers like dollars or tinfoils I was thinking an odoe might be similiar, but like I said its up in the air on what they will tolerate.

All said and done they are not really meant to go together. I have found some people keeping them with similiar fish some saying not too.
