[alnes]

Hello to you all, I have now got my second tank, Because i have a common pleco growing super fast & 6no mid size angels also 2 silver dollars, i have bought a 100 gallon 6ft tank to house these, This will make some room in my 4ft tank.
What i would like is some help in choosing some fish for the 6ft tank, prob 3 or 4 6" or 2 8" fish , I love some of the cilchid, but am aware they are prob not the way to go , can anyone make any suggestions i like colouful chunky looking fish must be large similar to oscars or convicts that sort of thing, many thanks..........

Perhaps Sevrums?
Geophagus'?
Uaru?

Not sure why you say not the way to go?

Are you looking for fish to house with the Angels in the 6 ft. or stocking for the 4 ft. ?

Looking to add to the angels / dollars/ pleco in the 6ft tank thank you

silver dollars should be in a shoal not just 2 !

ahh i see. The angels would get bullied by a larger cichlid. But then again it wont be too bad in a tank that size!

Have you thought about more predatory things like bichir that wouldn't bother/be bothered with the fish you have.

Not sure on a larger fish, but possibly a Festivum. Discus are kept with Angels as well as Dwarf Cichlids. I would add more Silver Dollars and Dwarfs personally.

uaru would be fine with angels, shouldnt be a problem!!

my friend as a 6foot tank with a pair of adult auru , lace gouramis and 6 juvienile angels and the auru are the most peacefull of them all!!
