I have 1 smaller morph-a-ma-jig type of blood red parrot, 1 synodontis longirostous, 1 pictus catfish, 1 raphael catfish (he's a spotted type which dont get as big as the striped) , an% 1 rubber lipped pleco which gets to 4 inches max. Any suggestions on what fish i can keep? Just list all of what could go in there without maxing the tank out. In fact im not even going to fill the tank with a all the fish i can get. Later on i might want some different fish to go in with my existng fish. So yeah a list of possibilities would be great! I have lots of hiding places but the whole front of the tank is open for 4 feet of swimming space. I do 20 percent water changes every 3 days(twic a week) and there are about 7 liv, hardy plants in there. Im returning the oscar on sunday because he will get to big.:thanks:

The last picture is when ifirst filled the tank with water a while back. But weve gone from plastic and silk plants to live. Gravel to sand and great looking to extraordinary looking(y) ivedone cichlids in the past and know enough to stay away if wou want a more serene looking tank so yeah id appreciate it if you experts would list tropical comunity to semi aggresive. The bloood parrot is only 2.5 inches so dn worry bout' it okay? He doesnt bo5her and when he starts we hae a place for him:angel: hehe. Lol jk but any suggestions on live plants and decor are appreciated too! I have 1 java fern, 2 anubias, 1 amazon sword(thin leaf) 1 moss ball, and 1 other one in th3 right hand corner that i dont know what it is. I feed them fluorish plant food ad put in api co2 1ce day. Sorry for asking soooo many questions but 8 year of fish keeping wears on my brain and kinda makes it hard to decide even when ive kept almost 3very fish oug there in cichlids and just plain tropial,yes i have a goldfsh tank too.:banghead:
