check my signature for complete list of fish. if i take out the frontosa, what else do i need to take out in order to add 2 more gold severums (female)? the green terror, green severum, bala sharks, and rams arent options.

The Green Terror is call green"terror" for a reason. Once he matures i think ya gonna be in trouble. Sev's aren't Agressive, nor are Gourami's etc.... I would rather keep the terror in a seperate tank. :)
 
btw green terrors grow VERY FAST, jsut before xmas i got a green terror 1 " for 50 p lol at the lfs because they were fry, now he is 6" and its been a few months !!! hes frienldier because hes with large cichlids like my sig, a frontosa, 2 small oscars and a mbuna. hes getting on fine ijsut thought ishould warn you that they do grow very quikly given the right tank size tank mates and diet etc.
good luck with the oscar problem, mine were given t ome as sickly 1 inchers now they always following eachover around and i mhoping they will maybe turn out to be a pair, but if their not then its fine, i think you should get your oscar a litle friend, oscars are very sociable, ive never known anyone who doesnt keep them in a pair or trio.
 
IMO I would definately take out the tyre track eel. Despite my love for eels if he gets any bigger he will start to eat any fish around 1". Due to past experience I have found this to be true. You may get lucky. It also depends on what size you bought the tyre track. If you bought him VERY young you may get away with it, also as they grow they get very teratorial. I have never like corrys either. If you really like eels as I do then buy a baby fire eel. Doesnt eat other fish and is NOT at all teratorial (if it is a baby it will also be small).
 
uhh kubora, i dont have an oscar???

ringham, ok weird news then, as of yesterday my tyre track just dissapeared. he might have escaped, but i dont think it possible i checked everywhere. i dug through the whole tank, took everything out even and he wasnt in there. so subtract him from the list. also the delhezi somehow got himself trapped and died, and all the cories but my largest one were sucked up my powerhead...(i have learned my lesson with this one, so i took it out). so now my signature shows my current fish after all the carnage. ill definitely think about getting a fire eel like you said, but would it be better just to get another delhezi instead?
 
Sorry to go off the topic of sevs.

I would definately get a fire eel, and it will be fine with a delhizi as he doesn't eat other fish and is anti-agressive. If you do get a fire eel (or in fact any type of eel) give him plenty of tunnels/caves etc. I also love birchirs, but if you buy another try and get a reasonably small one. For me my 17" fire eel will actually let me stroke it etc. because he links my hand in the tank with food, lol. Also how long has your tyre track been missing, I am pretty sure that he is still in your tank. Several times I have pressumed one of my eels to be dead (as I have several) because I hadn't seen it for 3 weeks +. Then all of a sudden he will be swimming around. I wouldn't count your tyre tracks death untill 100% sure!!!

I have also had past experiances with fish getting sucked up and then diced in a powerhead, lol. Some of us have to learn the hard way.

As I said I doubt that your tyre track is dead.
