Cichlids

[presario05]

Hi There

I after some help. I have a 240 gallon tank and in the tank I have the following

1 scat
2 kribs
2 angel
2 dwarf gourmai
1 ghost
2 platys
2 cat fishes
1 horse loach

I still feel I could have more fish in this tank - but I unsure what else to get - any help would be appreciated. The scat has being bullying my other fish so he is going back tomorrow.

Also In my shop they have some yellow cichlids which look very similar to my kribs - would these be compatable

Thanks
Vickie

Ghost fish is all I know it as - all black with funny shaped face and white tail
Also if the platys would be a proble I can move them into my other 60gallon tank
Sorry do not have easureents to hand - but know its a 4ft tank wich holds 240 uk gallons

Thanks

whats the complete measurements of the tank hun

 

[liamt2k6]

i wouldt suggest adding africans to you tank with the angelfish around, that was my biggest mistake

if its african then no,

from your description of the ghost it sounds like a black ghost knife fish . also a 4 foot tank which is 240 gallons? no offence but i doubt it very much. my tanks is 4ftx2ftx2ft which is 100 uk gallons so to have 240 gallons in a 4 foot tank it would be freakishly deep/wide. measure your tank and use the calculator at the top of the forum page it will give you your true volume. if the ghost fish is a bgkf then you wont have the platties for long .

I'd say that if it is a 240 litre tank then your prob right at your limit if not already overstocked.

Angels need a big tank and you have 2 and also the blacvk ghost knife fish can grow to 18" and beyond so that will outgrow your tank.
