  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I tried neon tetras like I saw in a book and they lasted about an hour:nilly: and I keep my fish well fed:irked: crawfish lasted about a week or two:popcorn:
 
I might try snails tonite:screwy: I would love to put a pleco in there to clean up the brown algae put they would wipe it out (I do 1/3 water changes every week and still get mild brown algae growth.:nilly:

i seen a program where a single wolffish fend of a whole pack of piranahs. but that was in the wild, i dunno about an aquarium...they'd have alot of confrentations.

Really? A wold cichlid? Wow, I can't imagine. Well, you are right, it would be different in an aquarium.
 
I've seen this question a lot and ya know i've tried everything over the years and the only thing that i have found to be successfull is your common Pleco. I have had limited success with Oscars and like others have said if introduced at a young and small stage they can co-exist but hell man i hate taking the chance and losing a fish. Coming home to a half eaten fish Always sucks especially when it's still holding on. I had a sweet 150 tank with just P's in it and my black at the time decided to gang up on this sweet Egemani i had and ate the ****ing thing in half and when i got home it was still swimming around eating and trying to stay afloat with half a body. . . . damn that sucked watching it die!. . . . so my advice be very cautious what you introduce at this stage in the game.
