firstly you don't want more than one silver aro,
Also Plecos will suck on the slime of the ray, so its one or the other
The Ray/aro would try to eat anything it can cover so tankmates need to be fully grown
A 3ft sump isn't going to be enough IMO

2 x tiger oscars
2 x common plecs

Oh Wow, I'd have to loose some serious bit's of furniture first, or knock a wall down, might upset the neighbours mind Cant wait to see the progress.

You could have a Red Tail Cat on its own but not with the others IMO When the Red Tail is a adult it will eat the Oscars, Dollars, Severums etc.

They had to take the Red Tail out of the big tank in my local Miadenhead because over a few weeks the Jags went missing...Oscars etc

 

[bae1994]

ok thanks ill take it out

 

[Cichlid_Crazy]

You could get away with Jags or other big agressive Cichlids liek a Red Devil in a tank that big also...but just keep them solo. (no breeding)

I saw a 'Alligator Gar' ...or thats what it was labelled as..in Maidenhead...i thought it looked amazing..it was about 2ft long and looks like..well..a alligator lol, not sure how big they get, when i googled it, it was saying like 8 foot lol but i think that was a diff species or it would make no sense them being sold.

 

[bae1994]

yeah the sevs im on about are i think breeding ones i dunno would that cause prolems

also the gar ddoes get huge and arnt a good fish for home aqauria

 

[Cichlid_Crazy]

I think you can get smaller ones tho?

Sevs should be fine breeding in a tank that size...there will be nothing in there they can upset.

 

[bae1994]

yeah you can get smaller gars buti dont really want any


and awsome im glad theyre ok breeding as ive found a breeding pair for 40 pounds is that cheap

 

[Cichlid_Crazy]

xenentodon cancila

that was it^ max size 16"

As for the Sevs...yeh thats about average.

I have a pair of Silver Saums (Green Terrors) for sale that i will let go for £15 but they are collection only.

 

[bae1994]

taunton is to far im afraid sorry
