F15hguy Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Got a tank with 3 young surinamensis approx 7-8cm, 1 x Decorus Syno, 4 x slender hemidosis, 3 x Opaline gourami, 1 x redspot pleco (approx 15cm) 1x golden algae eater and the star of the tank 1x banded leporinus would 3 small oscars go in without any problems???, it previously had 3 large angels with no problems but wondering if the oscars and surinamensis would clash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 How big is your tank? Surinamensis (G. altifrons) will pretty much ignore anything but their own species.. I haven't kept Oscars so don't know what they would do to the altifrons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Tank is 300L, but it is a display tank so fully grown size is not an issue (plus got heaps of other tanks should it become one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 IMO three altifrons ["surinamensis"] OR three oscars would be about it for a 300L tank, never mind the rest. They all have the potential to get to 25-30cm and the oscars can be pretty messy. In a big enough tank (double what you have now, or more) I can't see why it wouldn't work though.

F15hguy Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 They are in a sale tank atm so not a problem, If It was not then you are right and no way would they be there. just making sure as its annoying having to do emergency re-homing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
