currently in my tank i have 1 x 7" oscar, 5 x clown loach, 1 x pictus, 1 x red tailed cat, 1 x green sevrum, 2 x fire eels and now i want one maybe two more fish but i dont know what would be more suitable a red devil or the urua cichlid?
any advice would be greatly appreciated. tom.
 
Depends on the size of your tank. You'll need (or already have) a titanic tank for your catfish, so either fish would work, mind you a red devil can be death on wheels if the mood or conditions suit it to be so,
 
The red tailed cat is only growing on it will be re-homed at about 8-10 inches. Tank is 5 feet x 2 x 2 would the urua suit better?

I would also stay away from uaru, they are happier in groups. They also need very clean water that the oscar wont help with same with the red tail hence why uarus are known as poor mans discus. Im surprised the red tail doesnt eat your fire eel. Something to watch out for.
