In my 6' tank I have 4 tinfoil barbs, jack dempsey, green severum, kissing gourami, 3 dojo loaches, pleco.
What else could I get that gets to about a foot long and would work with my existing fish???
 
nobody has any ideas?

Not clowning your setup, just hear my quick verse....This is MFK....Throw out the feeder fish....Put some monster growouts in....Maybe a shoal of some exodons(saber-tooth tetra) to start off with...buy a dozen or so exo's...fill out with bushy plants such as Cambomba or Hornwort......Toss in 2 Tiger Oscars...Ba da bing ba da boom.......

i would say find a specific direction to go in with your tank
your stock seems jus a bit random
 
I guess I may just be on the wrong forum.....but my question was

"What else could I get that gets to about a foot long and would work with my existing fish???"
 
You guys are mean...
The OP will go put in what he likes...

I would reccomend catfish like Pimelodus ornatus that do not get over 13"

Maintenance (waterchange, gravel vac, etc.) schedule, filtration, temperature you keep the tank at? Temperment of current inhabitants?

20% water change every 2-3 weeks

fluval 404 canister filter

78 degrees

my fish all get along (no aggressive behavior except the kissing gourami sucking on a fish every once and a while)
 
could try an oscar (prolly need more filtration) or a lima shovelnose... although it will eat your dojo loaches

depending on the temperament of your dempsey you could try some polypteruse... lots of them get in 13 inch range including Delhezis, the palmas sp, ect ect. they will eat your dojo loaches too though
