Well I just got one of those the other day and a large pleco and I am thinking of trading in my Oscar for possibly a Ctenopoma kingsleyae because the Oscar was chasing everyone around but he is a little better now.

I was just wondering what you guys thought, or would recommend? I like the odd ball look of the bigger (6"+) Ctenopoma's and other bush fish but they would have to compatible with my current stock...

So any other ideas on bush fish? please post scientific names and pics if possible. as I have found a lot of these fish have more then 1 common name.

Current stock is: 1x Lutino O, 1x Convict, 1x Ctenopoma acutirostre 1x Veil Fin Angel, 1x Large Common Pleco and 3x Red Hook SD's in a 150Gal w/ Fluval FX5 and 2x Emperor 400's
 
I like the Ctenopoma acutirostre he is cute, he has been following around my convict since they are close to the same size around 4"s (TL) Spot my Ctenopoma acutirostre is mimicking my convict and kind of chases the SD's when they get close...

Also they had a Tiger Dat at the pet store too about 4-5"s (TL) for $89cad and I was wondering if that could be a good tankmate? I dont know much about them, that was actually the fist time I have seen one.
