Possible New Tankmate Suggestions?

[youdirtyfox]

HI everyone,
at the moment I have 1 x 8" Oscar and 1 x 7" black ghost knife fish and 3 6" redtailed tinfoil barbs
I have been wondering what other fish I could fit in?! I would love an Arowana, but feel the tank maybe too small! but I know I could fit a few more fish in so any suggestions welcome.

Tank has been running almost a year and is 1.5m x 48cm x 53cm and just under 400litres with the curved end. now full with RO btw, 1 x external canister and 2 x internal fluval plus 4.

Thanks
Sam.

Hi, yes i'm afraid the tank is nowhere near the size required for an arowana,

You could maybe add a bichir (senegal, delhezi or ornate) or plec,
Or another smaller cichlid or a trio or so of hoplos or similar cats

Thanks for the reply,
Tried a few cats and BGK doesnt seem to get on with other bottom feaders too much.
not keen on plecs or bichirs, sorry i know lots do love them.

What other cichlids could i look at??

Most cichlids that get to around 6" should be fine, so
