Hi,
The good news is I got some spare room in my fishtank and will start looking at a new fish/ new couple to add.
My current stocking:
Red Oscar 9"
6 Silver Dollars 5-6"
Spotted Gar 9"
4 plecos: 2,5-6-8-10"

I'm looking for an "allround-fish", that will be gentle.
So, no known-bullies or territorial fish.
But must be able to coexist with my Oscar and Gar.(That means not fitting in their mouths, but upto 7")
I know it a personal thing but I'd like some direction.
Feedback please!!!

jacks dempsey, green terrors, severums, salvinis, geos. any of these would make nice additions.

And they're all good on their own?
I'll do some checking on the other fish.
Geophagus i don't like.
Blue JD and GT i looked to, they're beauties!

a fire eel would be nice but they do get long up to 32 inch.

I have both and both are fantastic. The Terror is little more aggressive but then the Jack's are still small. The colors are amazing.

a couple of graceful swimming angels fish could be another option

Oscars won't nip the fins of angel fish?

oscar for two years now. oscar don't even bully the angel.

I read your posts, and i like the fire eels, but my bottom is kinda occupied by my plecos.
And by my Gar, which I bought as an upper-level fish, but turns out to be a lazy-ass-laying-on-the-gravel-kinda-fish...

And no stock in the LFS at the moment for any descent size Severums or GT's.
Still open for suggestions, while I keep checking the LFS for nu-arrivals!

And not to offend anyone, but ,eh, I think angelfish are kinda stupid.

I can't wait to find out what you choose. I can't remember, do you have JD's?

Don't have ém, they shouldt be available sometime in the near future.
It's gotto be a nice size too, for my oscar is reaching the 10" soon!
The LFS had 2 beautiful tiger shovelnose catfishes, whom my wife wanted to buy...
And I said that we'd be needing that bigger monstertank soon!
