They were fine once acclimated but I lost 6 out of 40 during transport. The other 4 deaths were during acclimation. No deaths since the 48hr danger zone.
They are picky eaters tho

What I want to do is some roseline barbs\sharks but I think they may eat my embers when they get bigger.
I have also thought of Swordtails but they make to many fry.
I love electric blue acaras. I just didnt know how they would do with the embers\ Chilis.
I used to have 4 of them in my SA tank and they were little tank bosses who kept my Sev's in line.
That was the tank before this but my 4-year-old fed them a bag of cat food and they didn't like it. I did...
I could not decide on a centerpiece fish so I thought I would turn it over to a community decision.
I love the shoaling of the tank but there is not a centerpiece fish to bring the tank together.
Tank details:
Size: 175G Bowfront (Lids are off to allow pothos to grow out)
Filter: 2x Biomaster...
After some thought and community input I am thinking:
90: tiger oscar, 2x sev, 2x rainbow cichlid, 1 pleco
180: 4x sev, 2x geophagus, 5x acara, 8x rainbow cichlid
Rehome: 1 bala, 3 silver dollar, 1 pleco, ba tetra
Thoughts?
The bioload is the major concern. I am hesitant to move the oscar because of the smaller acara. I was thinking of rehoming the bala just because it doesnt have any schooling mates. He was a toilet rescue from neighbor with a 10g last year.
Looking for some advice on how to decide up my stocking. I currently have a 90G and 180G tanks set up in my living room. I had another tank but it shattered. (Kids+hammer=angry dad) I think I can rehome all 3 tanks into 2 with some planning.
My current plan
90 with 40 G sump: 1x tiger oscar...
