Need Help

[MikeD67]

Ok so I found a 85 gal tank for sale from a guy that has had it a year and is moving comes with dual Emperor filter system 300 watt filter oak stand hood and lights python cleaning system auto fish feeder and air pump for 300 dollars the only problem I have is it also comes with fish which are

Uaru Cichlids ( South american) -6
bala shark - 1
red tail shark -1
and a 7 inch long pleco.

I plan on keeping the pleco but im not to sure about the South american chiclids and the rest cause im getting this tank to expand my african Cichlid tank. Is it possible to keep the 6 Uaru Cichlids if I have many hiding spots or should I just not test it and donate them to my local LFS?


also I will be adding my own fluval 405 to the filter system.

Ya I just did some research on the Uaru and noticed they get up to 10 inch big and the biggest my africans will get is 6 or 7 inches long also the water conditions are off between the Uaru like almost still water and between the 2 emperial filters and my fluval there will be pretty good water movement. Besides when moving the tank we have to completely drain it and also Im putting crushed coral in the tank instead of gravel and making a DIY backround I found SO in other words I have no room for these fish in my 30 gal for temp keeping untill the 85 gets all set up and cycled. So I am going to keep the Pleco and the rest will be donated or traded for store credit at my LFS thanx for the advice.

No problem there quite pricey, so sell them toyour lfs for store credit maybe buy some new rocks o the 85g or some new fish for the 85g
