Stocking Question ?

[bcarey]

Hi all,

i have 2 parrots about 3-4 inchs big and one pleco, i have a 180l tank,

I would like to get 2 more fish for my tank but every time i try to introduce some thing new its been eaten i put a slightly small oscar in there and the 2 parrots butchered it to death??

Any suggestions on what i can put in ??

Thanks
Billy

Parrot's should be the last fish to add as once they think the own the tank the will guard it all, how ever if you add them last they a new to the tank and then have to establish their home and should be fine.

How ever try to change the tank around totally, this may fool them into thinking that their in a new area the the new fish should get a chance to settle in before the parrots start to chase them.
