Should I add a festae?

[knobhill]

hi folks.
I want to add my female festae to my 1100g tank. Not sure if she is big enough to go in yet. I measured her today and she is about 6" (she is in a 55g quarantine tank. The LFS I got her from had larger pikes, jags, and full grown oscars in the same tank. She definately holds her own with other fish....

Here is the stock I have in there:
28" silver Aro--blind in one eye and drop eye in the other, (5) 12"+ widebar silver dollars, 13" Flagtail, (2) 12" red pike cichlids, 18" kelberi bass, 20" red tail gourami, (2) 30" Niger cats, 10" NGT datnoid, 12" Rosequeen cichlid.

So, do you guys think I should add her or wait until a little longer?

well, I don't think she would have that much of a problem with cichlids in a tank that large. But big bass like that will snack on a 6 inch fish

That's an expensive meal for the bass...unfortunately been on the wrong end of that deal a few times before i learned.

The bass is blind in one eye and probably the mellowest pbass ever. He chases the widebars when he is bored and that's about it. He is even a wimpy eater--he will nibble at pellets, and very rarely even eats tilapia.

I'm gonna wait until June to add the festae.
