chrisso81 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Salmontail cats? If your lfs is lying to you, you need to find a new one. Find a good shop, build a relationship with the staff and you will be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Limiting factors are obviously the Saratoga (aggression) and the barramundi (predators mouth). It really depends on what you like and what themes if any you're trying to keep. However large oscars, eel-tail catfish, adult tinfoil barbs etc are some interesting additions you could add. If you see something you like at the LFS, make sure it grows to a decent size ie 10+cm, won't fit into the barramundi's mouth and if it does it swims fast.

ryan Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 what type of africans can go in the tank??? if they fit this criteria??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanaone Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 hey ryan, have you got any pics? what about changing the aquascape instead of just adding more fish, most of the fish that you have in there would thrive with extra room. if you are absolutely set on adding some more fish don't make any rash decisions as you could be setting yourself up for disaster. ryan.

Andrew Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 If you can find them available, Australian Snakehead Gudgeons are big enough, and dwell in the lower half of the tank, so they're generally safe from Saratogas. They are incredibly brilliantly multicoloured, so definitely will break the boredom if you can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAL05T Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Depends on what you classify as dear/expensive, but one thing that will be okay is any of the bichir group . Just so happens I have one that needs a new home Can grow to 60cm in a large enough tank and will only eat what fits in its mouth, none of your fish fit this category at present. Look up Polypterus ornipinnatis from memory, cheers Brett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 A large Red Scat would look good and should be strong enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
