What is an "o"?

mrcrazypants05 · 09-22-2005, 07:25 PM

Oscar I'm guessing... Well if you start small... 2 weeks and my setups working great. So far... [acronym:17cecb9635="By the way"]BTW[/acronym:17cecb9635] sump is really good for these messy fish... especially with a real good turnover rate. Messy eaters and once full grown cichlids produce a ton of waste lol.

Jack Dempsey's, Green Terror's, a school of barb's maybe, gold or green severum, green texas cichild, red devil, carefull witch cat's you look at alot of them get too big for any tank (when you have a large tank you might misjudge that) [acronym:27516a1b79="Hope this helps (or) Happy to help"]HTH[/acronym:27516a1b79]

Sailfin pleco would be a good cat. But any other largish semi-aggressive cichlid will also work well with an Oscar as well.

what about clown loaches? an eel maybe? just name anykind of fish that would work.

mrcrazypants05 · 09-23-2005, 06:27 PM

Clown Loaches would work in a larger tank... maybe like an 8 foot tank... pretty wide too... they tend to get large 12" or so... and they like to be in schools of like 3 or more. they need plenty of bottom swimming area. I've heard of people keeping Spiny Eels with their cichlids. they are amusing fish as well...
