I have a 9x4x2 indoor pond (as some of u already know). I've got 3 juvenile Os, 2 IDs and a pleco. I'm thinking about adding another fish(or two). Got any suggestions?

I like the Black-Banded Leporinus

Large angel fish

I would reccomend staying away from any really aggresive fish so that the oscars will be the dominate... I had these in my tank and they got along great with the oscars

these are what I had with mine Satanoperca jurupari

I agree with Dave except I have a Black-Banded Leporinus and He hides all the time.. I never see him. I also know that they are JUMPERS!

is the pond concrete? soil?

catfish is good in a pond as well as the knife fish.

It's concrete. Yeah IDs love it. So as the Os. I added my Os temporarily because their tankmates (angelfish) were attacking them. But Since Os love it (the space I guess), I decided to keep them in it. I was thinking about a Texas, but knifefish will do better
I have the pond in my dining area.

These are some pics i have in photobucket at the moment. I'll post some more as soon as i take.





Thanx

thanx nickie. When it comes to cleaning I have to do some extra work. Specially with removing algae. But totally worth it.

Hey guys which type of knifefish will do better with my Os and IDs. Black Ghost Knife or Clown Knife Fish? And are they fast growing fish like Os and IDs?

I had a clown knife a while back with my first set of O's and it did fine... It did grow a little slower but the O's left him alone

I have no experience in keeping knife fish. So i have few questions..

My filter creates a pretty strong current. Would knife fish be ok with it?
And my tiger is 3 inch long and 2 albinos are 2.5 inch long. What size of knifefish should buy ?
