richms Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Have 5, about 8cm long, and a big-ass pleco in a 6 foot. Got filtration sorted now so can restock. Had tinfoil barbs in the past but they look the same as the silver sharks which is a bit boring. No planting in the tank (thanks to that pleco) Wanting some suggestions on something more visually interesting that will coexist happily, eat the same stuff, be reasonably tolerant of the other fish and most importantly be cheap. Would be picking up in Auckland so ideally suggestions on fish for sale on here or else trademe would be welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Giant danios, if your sharks aren't big enough to eat the small ones you'll get at the fish store before they grow? Similar behavior in a lot of ways to the sharks, but look different. Otherwise just about any SA cichlid would probably work be fine, silver sharks are usually too busy racing around to worry about being aggressive.

Fruju Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I have 2 sharks, 1 about 7cm the other 15cm, they are in with a jardini/festae cichlid/green terror/geo/bichirs - no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moya Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Male Congo Tetras? At 3 or so inches would these still be too teeny? Anyway, they are pretty sweet, and the males are truly gorgeous when fully grown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
