Man, you ask this question without giving info. What fish are in your tank? How big is it? What are your water parameters?

 

[SOKO]

On the "what fish are in your tank" and "how big is it" questions, nervermind

What does albino tiger mean? Is that an oscar? You will need to specifically state everything.

Say you have 2 oscars, 2 angels, 3 cats, 1 TT eel, 2 bala sharks

Here's the deal, the oscars will eat the cats, as they are only 1", pretty soon. I'm surprised they haven't done this already. Next, when the oscars get big they will kill the angels. Angels are slow. If you want dithers, keep the bala sharks. The oscars will be fine with the eel.

Now here is what you put in a different tank. Take the cats and angels out put them in another tank.

The oscars, tt eel, and bala sharks will be fine for now.

lol my oscars are completely fine with the angels, they grew up with eachother in my 55 gal tank so my oscars think they are family lol and the catfish have grown to about 2.5 inches now and the oscars figured out that they arent food. suprisingly my parameters are amonnia: zero, nitrate: less than 5 ppm and nitrite: 0ppm

I have balas and a spiny eel in a 100G. What's ur WC schedule?

wc or filter cleans on every sunday.

Why are you putting this guy down so hard? And yes an albino tiger is an oscar I would imagine.

Stocking sounds ok for now, but in the long run the oscars will be too much.
