I have a 60gal angled front tank that i have properly cycled and presently have two severums and two molllies a Rapheal catfish and two plecostomas in it i am trying to figure out what would be good tankmates for the severum's i love these fish and i was planning on putting in an irredescent shark and maybe a red fin shark. I was thinking maybe albino parrots (not the blood parrots i think they are so ugly), or possibly convicts any pointers on what would be good tankmates for these fish would be great, i would really like to be able to introduse them all soon and at one.

-How big are the current occupants? Also what kind of pleco's?

-Gets very large, may need more than a 125g eventually.
 
consider the mollies feeders. I suggest silverdollars, convicts, keyholes, port cichlids, etc
 
my current occupants are small, the two severums i have are currently no longer than 1 to 1.5 inches stil very young.
 
At the moment have 3 severums with a tire track eel and a rapheal catfish, I'm looking to get a birchir or two to put with them. I'm currently looking for a few more tank mates also.

ok then at the size they'd be fine with angelfish, keyholes, uarus, port cichlids, tetras, smaller silverdollars, etc.. no mean cichlids yet.
 
I would go a few silver dollars.
An iridescent shark can get huge (3-4 feet)....way to big for your tank :(
 
Anything that stays over 3" and under 1'.

If the plecos are commons, they will need bigger tank...
 
i have 2 gold severum with eartheaters, a dat, 3 sun cats, an irridescent, ghost knife and a raf. the sevs dont really bother any of them.
