any ideas on what i should keep my eyes open for or what i should grow out to keep with my oscars and my barred midas and soon to be another midas/rd to make a pair. im open to any ideas, going in a 10x5 footprint indoor pond currently and next summer it will be a 13x5 2.5deep. multiple sections will be possible if something cool enough to build a seperate section for catches my attention. please include a pic with suggestions and why in your opinion i should get it. personal stories welcome. (Damn i ask alot of all of you.)
what to keep with midas and oscars
- Thread starter perfect_prefect
- Start date
ID go with a GT,JD,jag or a flowerhorn. Jag and flower horn grow bigger than the midas and oscar but not big enougth to worry for there saftey.
i was thinking possibly a dovii a jag or a red snook. i want something that will be active and look good from above at an angle. keep in mind its a pond not a glass sided aquarium. no other suggestions? only one person has an opinion this is hard to believe coming from MFK's finest.
Your possibilities are basically endless, and cichlid you want, can go in there with a footprint like that.
what do you think about this stock list? currently 10" barred midas, 7 1/2" and 9" oscars, my rd/midas once its big enough to hopefully pair with the barred, 5 goldfish 4-8", and add in an 8" jag and a 5-6" gt?
if i have to seperate out the midas pair that is doable in a short 125, i think its somewhere around 7-8' long and 18" wide
this guy or gal could be my next addition
other option is a pair of clown knifes that are 20-22 inches and would be a donation
