Practically perfect in every way
OK so your all probably sick of hearing about Oscar by now, please bear with me!!
92 us gallons corner tank, debatably less room than a standard rectangular tank but he seems pretty happy. he's got loads of room in there.
current occupants and sizes
1 red tiger oscar - 10"
1 chocolate albino common plec - 8"
1 common syno - 6"
he did have polly the parrot fish with him, but the fighting got too bad so she was re-homed not so long ago.
the tank is planted so i'd really like to keep it that way, so nothing that's gonna munch all the plants.
Since Polly left he's been in a right sulk, although he scraps with them I think he'd be happier with some companions.
I understand we may have to accept that we can't have anyone with him, if this is the case then so be it, however I think with some careful thought and planning it may be worth taking a calculated risk. Were on excellent terms with our lfs and can alwasy re-home any inhabitants that it doesn't work out with.
My thought is that instead of other cichlids with him we should get a shoal of medium-large sized fish then the agression will be spread out so no 1 fish will get picked on too much..... does that make sense, would it work?
I was thinking maybe silver dollars could work...... what do you think? any other suggestions appreciated.
