Looking for any possible tankmates for my ckf. Tank is a 240 gal, filtered by a 100 gallon sump. In the tank is a ckf-14", Sen-9", common plec-16", and a Raphael cat-4-6". I wanted to put a schooling fish in there with them. My lfs had some giant danio (3")for sale and we both thought they may be able to outrun the ck. I put 6 in last night and when I woke up there was only two left. Is there anything else that may work in there. He has some silver dollars (speckled type, not real familiar with silver dollars) for $6/ea, and he has 5 Redhooks that he thought would probably large enough that they wouldn't get eaten. The Redhooks are $16/ea and I don't want to just buy an expensive meal for the jerk. Anyone have experience with silver dollars with these type of tankmates, or anything else that worked? I want to add a school of fish
 
my albino CKF has silver dollars as tankmates. CKF about 12-14 inch, my silver dollars should be about 5 inches.
