2 oscars, or 1 oscar and 2 clown loaches. Oscars are messy messy fish. I bought one at 2 inches and he was 14 inches when he died.

I wouldnt put 2 oscars in a 300 litre , Id maybe get maybe 2/3 more clown loaches as they love eachothers company. But remember these grow to like 12"+ but take a long time to get there

yea i no clowns get big but wen they get 2 big i will hav probably upgraded
i said i DONT like oscars
yh so
4/5 clown loaches
4 bolivian rams
?

Oops I missed the don't like part. With a tank that size why not do african cichlids or rainbows or something like that.

If you want rams, get 5 or 6 to start with, its the best way to get a pair formed, then you can re-home the others if they become too aggressive when spawning.

As already mentioned, rainbow, boesmani etc are lovely shoaling fish, you could get a good size shoal in there and they are very peaceful and colourful.

 

[joshjames]

how many rainbows could i put in then wiv
4 clowns
4/6 bolivian rams

 

[minxfishy]

8 would be a nice sized shoal.

Maybe some corys? sorry they are one of the few community fish I really like

Or how about a shoal of congo tetras, Ace likes those too

OOo she knows me

Also why not a blue acara instead of rams?

You have to go for a gold Severum...great fish! I have one in my community tank with small fish and he's fine...If you buy it as a juvenile fish and raise it with the smaller fish it should be fine!

4 clowns
4 rams
6 rainbows
1 gold severum
and about 10 corys

Chill dude, no need to ask too many timeslol.

I would get the severum tbh, especially if you are breeding the rams...
