Large Non-Aggressive Tank Mate For My Fish?

[harry000]

hey guys,

i am new to the forum and fairly new to the hobbie.

i set up my tank about a year ago.

It is a 95 gallon and currently contains, 6 tiger barbs, Giant danios, 2 pictus catfish and 4 silver dollars, all are living together peacefully and i have had no problems so far.

I now wish to add an attractive centrepiece fish.

So i am looking for suggestions. I would prefer a non-aggressive fish that grows large in size and is good to look at.

What do you guys think would be compatible with my current fish.

I will eventually upgrade to a larger tank so the question is of fish compatibility, not stocking capacity.

Cheers, Harry

hi, maybe green severum, or some large angelfish, if your tank is deep enough that it.

Interesting, anwhyte, do you think the barbs and silver dollars would leave the angels alone due to the large size of the tank? That's what I'd hope and angels was what came to mind for me too, although that's partly out of simply not knowing of any more real answers (my own lack of wide stocking knowledge of larger fish, not that there aren't more out there) for one's that would be passive. Should 4 silvers be enough to keep them interesting in only their own group?

edit: what I was thinking about with the silver dollars was that they are probably fine with the current stocking but might they get nippy with slower more flowing fins available to nip? (certainly the barbs might, as whether they will stay occupied by their own group only will be somewhat unpredictable, but 95g of space will help!)

You'd probably be better getting a semi-aggresive fish, just to put the Barbs and Dollars in their place. You don't need an all out killing machine by any means, just something that can hold it's own. Maybe one of the popular sharks?

I would second the idea of a severum any would be great in there Either the green, gold or the redspot gold
