Wanted: Big fish in Chicago area-

[destro]

OK, so I have a 4K gallon indoor pond that is now ready to stock. I have decided to go S. American, am in need of fish. I am on a pretty tight budget though-

Have any fish you need to get rid of due to space (or know of any that need to be re-homed?). Looking for Oscars and other S. American fish.

Don't have a lot of money, so looking for cheap or give-aways. Figured it wouldn't hurt to post this up. My indoor pond is climate controlled in a green house in the lobby of our building. It is 15'8" X 15'8" X 26" deep (big and fairly shallow).

Post here or hit me up if you have anything. Right now I have in it:

6 channel cats 6-12" long (used to cycle pond)
2 Oscars (one red 6" long, one 11" albino)
2 JD 4" long
1 6" pleco

I would prefer things that will not eat the JD or pleco, but willing to gamble on things that "might" eat them as there are lots of rocks for the smaller fish to hide in.

I will be posting pics soon (got my aquascaping mostly done now- could use more driftwood but pieces big enough to make a difference are not cheap!). Any MFKers who will be in Chicago Heights, IL are more than welcome to PM me and get a tour (especially if you drop off some fish!)!
