gday from down under...

just started my new tank..i rescued an albino oscar from a realy dodgy pet shop and well after 3 days he/she is goin nuts..im feeding blondy (as my wife an i have called it)
on frozen blood worm/pellets and today ive put in 5 small barb feeders..he has already smashed 1 of the barbs and all is good..my set up is a 4 ft tank(180 litres)..blondy is in there on his own and look forward to introducing some tank mates..

so my question is which fish to put in there with my o ??.
blondy is only 2 inches long ..any advice would be appreciated...cheers

How wide is the tank? I would keep the oscar in there on his hown unless you are planning (and have the means to follow through, fairly quickly) to upgrade to a bigger tank as oscars can grow quite big, quickly!

hello bonny..the tank is 4ftx2ft highx2ft wide..its more like 200litres

Tank Capacity:
Litres: 453.1
US Gal: 119.7
UK Gal: 99.7

That's a lot bigger than you originally stated lol

I think you could fit some other oscars in there, (maybe one or two more). Other more experienced big cichlid keepers on here will be able to guide you towards other species that are compatibal with oscars.

well couldnt resist,,goy another oscar,,a handsom dark with red stripes and about the same size...introduced it to blondy and well ,i thinks they are lovers..they are realy happy and swimming/eating/playingand sleeping together..nice to see..
did a 20 litre water change and tested everything..all is good.havnt named her yet,as im waiting for a personality to show..cheers
