What Fish Will Be Compatable?

[Benakaben]

Hi, i have an oscar, large angel fish, 5 tinfoil barbs, and a pleco. im looking to add maybe one or two more fish to the tank.

Any suggestions looking for something with a bit of colour as these fish are either brown or silver.

Anyone know if there are any eels that will be compatable?

What size tank are these "tankbuster" fish in? The Oscar and the Tinfoil Barbs will reach close to 40cm, while the Pleco ( a Sailfin or Common, perhaps?) could reach upto 60cm depending upon species. This combo needs a 6x2x2 at the very least, given the skittish behavior of Tinfoils, I'd prefer to see them in a highly unlikely 12x3x3.

Your tank must be huuuge to house these fish

Sorry double post

I hope you got an ENOURMOUS tank. The Oscar alone would need a 75 gallon minimum, with Tinfoils and Pleco and Angel, id say about a 250 gallon.

Its 10'x 2' X 3' tank, region of 1600 litre, i also have a 5'x2'x2', 3'x 18 inches x 18 inches and a small 70l breeder tank.

2 external filters plus one internal, so i got an oscar 4 tinfoils, large angel, 1 marble sail fin plec.

Any suggestions on suitable tank mates?

Wow nice, I think I speak for all of us here when I say this... I'd loved to see some pics of the 2 big tanks plz post some for us to see

Agreed

Agree as well

How big is the angel? Mine's a scared to death by tiger barbs, can't imagine how it would fare with an oscar.

As for suggestions, how about blood parrots? Or a birchir, most likely going to be brown but should work well.

 

[dbanner]

Wouldn't of thought a birchir would be a gd choice to put in with a plec. The plec will at some point suck the slime coat off the birchir but I think it also depends on what type of plec the OP has. If I'm right in saying another member said the same thing a while back. I think it was "gasmask" and he knows his stuff

Also John, I would of thought your angel is scared of the barbs because tigers are known to be one of the worse ones for fin nipping. I bet they love the long fins of the angel

Wow thats a big tank,

Take some work on the water changes i bet

Would love to see pics

I remember reading this thread, it would be great to hear you managed to get the upgrade you fancied

The OP said that the 1600 litre is 10x2x3... So huuuge lol he also has a 5x2x2, which will be around 500 litres. So he must of actually gotten 2 upgrades can't wait to see some pics of them both

 

[Benakaben]

hi yes i really did say 1600L lol, i will try get some pics togther all my fish other than the angel or juvies, so not much to see at this point, but never the less i will try and get some pics of the big tank and the 5ft tank is infact a juwel rio 400 i think? around 450l,

the angel is fully grown at around 15cm,

Anyone know if some bala/silver shark will be compatable?
