Im looking for ideas on my stock and what I should do with it?? I want to know what you would do if it was your tank! The tank is a 150 gallon with 40 gallon sump with 1200gph. The dimensions are 48"x24"x30" and I plan to add some more driftwood. I have had some troubles with my oscar and HITH but he is doing better and it is improving!!
Stock-
12" oscar
18" fire eel (hides in the log)
3" fire mouth
3" upside down catfish
10" pleco

I really wouldn't add anything fish wise, maybe some floating plants though.
Once that eel grows some more it should make for an impressive display
 
Maybe some larger schooling fish
 
I wouldnt add anything...at least cichlid-wise. A 4 ft tank doesnt allow for peace with a 12" oscar & other cichlids...and he'll probably eat any smaller dithers.

The way you have it now is about as perfect as it will get. Looks great and is a good example of how Oscars should be kept.
 
Alright that sounds good. I was thinking a green terror but Im sure the two wouldn't have enough territory. Also had in mind a flagtail or tinfoil barbs.. But once the eel is bigger there might now be enough room.
 
I've got some new video of my tank! I did focus on my eel but it give yo an idea about the tank+pics. I'm planning on getting rid of the pleco and adding a bichir or flagtail... nothing to aggressive or messy...
