hi peoples....
I need sum advice to which of my fish wud be happy together... I have a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft tank... i`m looking to know if i shud have a few of em seperated into a different tank..Hopefull getting another 6ft x 2ft x 2tf, next month..

I have

2 small tiger shovel noses
1 large tiger shovel nose
1 extra large marbled Clarius catfish
2 ghost knife fish
1 blue zebra
2 Convicts
2 large oscars
6 medium oscars
5 Bristlenoses
2 extra large plecs
2 gold Sevrums
1 shovel nose (not a tiger)
2 firemouths

They all seem great which i am pretty shocked about, but the bigger ones can be twats, when the lights decide to go out..
any advice wud be nice thx..

I would move the medium Oscars and some catfish (your chose) in to the other tank. More room may mean may cause less agression !!!!!! Hope it works.

Crikey, I think a heated swimming pool would be more appropriate!! The Pimelodids (Tiger Shovelnoses) will need a tank that big EACH by the time they're full grown (3ft long!), and ideally wider than 2ft!! These are open water hunters that appreciate space and optimum water conditions.... That many Oscars, no matter how big, will eventually pair off and wwIII will break out, and as for the Convicts etc. etc..... A recipe for disaster m8, I'm sorry to say!
