Any ideas?

[Matty]

I have a 90g that I think is finished cycling and it is currently home to 6 raptor tetras and 3 bala sharks. I was going to add an oscar and a few tinfoil barbs, but i decided not to as they are too aggressive for the other tankmates. I have several options below for additions to the tank...please choose one

option 1

-1 emperor shark, 12 more tetras (any type except neon) and a blue acara

option 2

-1 emperor shark, 12 more tetras and some blue gouramis

option 3

-a huge school of tetras (like 40more)

option 4

-a mid size school of tetras (20 or so) and a few gouramis

option 5

-1 emperor shark and a few gouramis

option 6

- 1 emperor shark and a blue acara

option 7

-leave it as it is


Any other suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for your input!

All tanks need a balance and a good way is top/middle/bottom dwellers. I'd have a shoal, a few bigger fish and lots of bottom dwellers. Not unlike my 84US but that doesn't have a shoal.

GOURAMIES!!! three-spots and moonlights and pearls, a large harlequin rasbora shoal (and I mean LARGE) or a large cardinal shoal and a medium-sized pleco and lots of cories

What are the dimensions of your tank? Could you keep a gourami/giant in there (osphronemus goramy - grows to 60cm or 24in) I've always wanted one of them but I suppose your tank is probably too small for it Oh no never mind - there are already other fish in the tank and it would be way over-stocked

a 10gallon will last an oscar 4 months the most depends how often you feed it one adult oscar will live happy in a 75gallon tank with an salmotail catfish and a pleco.
